bloody wife!

I am 99% sure my wife has put all my cycling clothing in a bag ( by accident she says) among other old clothes and taken them to the thrift shop!

A pair of padded shorts, my troy lee skyline shorts and 2 jerseys.

Raging doesn’t cover how I feel!

Need to get down there tomorrow and have a look on the rails.

Angry angry angry.

That’s ALL your cycling clothing?

Any bikes, which charity shop?

Not anymore Druid.

New gear, hooray! 🙂

Maybe she’s got you a load of new stuff for xmas.

I’M SO PISSED OFF RIGHT NOW!

TO THE INTERNET!!!!!!

/types furiously

How long have you been married? I’d guess not long – calm down and relax, secure in the knowledge that sometime in the years to come you’ll make a bigger mistake by far. And so will she. It’s some clothes, it’s an accident.

That’s ALL your cycling clothing?

I’m impressed someone has any cycling clothing on here.

…next people will be saying they have bikes.

…then riding them!

Imagine that!

That’s ALL your cycling clothing?

ha ha, yes just buy when i ware it out.

better for my health and my bike than shouting at her! lol

I dunno, best to get it off your chest. Bottling things up is not the way to go.

If you ride on the weekend, two sets of gear is about right…

Loving your Zen approach there Markie. Id have all the toys out the pram by now. 😳

Bit precious when it comes to clobber.

Either

A) You don’t trust what your wife says, and you therefore have some marital issues to work out.

OR

B) Your wife did it deliberately and you have some marital issues to work out.

ha ha, yes just buy when i ware it out.

I and wear.

The best bit is it might not go out in the shop it’s donated at. Happy hunting!

Surely this in an opportunity for new kit that is totally sanctioned and guilt free?

well maybe a coincidence, but a mate of mine got a load of cycling gear in a charity shop in lincoln today !

Maybe she wants you to embrace the Lycra instead of baggies.

Regrettably, it’s actually a selfish approach – I make enough mistakes myself that I can’t really ride other people too hard for theirs! 😳

I do trust her but I will still be off for a look in the shop in the morning!

I have been eyeing up some raceface ambush shorts………. And a north face jersey.

Find her favourite pair of shoes …..

Ah marriage. You can’t beat it

and all of her handbags – make the trip to the charity shop really worthwhile.

That might be seen as revenge.

Not a happy marriage it makes……..

Ride bike.
Get dirty and sweaty.
Take off kit.
Wash it yourself
Put it away.

I don’t let my missus spanner my bike, and I don’t let her touch my kit.

Last time I tried that, I melted my one-ride old £30 sealskinz socks and made my merino top a suitable size for an action man to wear 😆 in my defence the ‘dry for 3 hours’ mode is directly opposite ‘sports mode’ and the distinguishing dimple on the dial is rather small

and I don’t let her touch my kit.

Both! Have you seen the shoes in charity shops?

Probably about the right time to show her the Rapha website and ask her which of their tops & shorts she thinks you should buy to replace the stuff SHE lost. When you decide “for the sake of the family” to replace with inferior cheap (in comparison to Rapha) clobber you’ll also have some brownie points in the bank and justified reason to lift an eyebrow at the next excessive bag/shoe/soft furnishing purchase.

bloody wife!

I know, every month, it’s digusting!
sorry 😡

My Mrs was in a filthy mood (as always) and she deliberately stuck my merino base layer in a hot wash; it came out felted and baby size. Did she care? Did she flip.

I struggle with long sentences

So, your wife has chariteed you kit. Just before crimbo.

Guilt + Crimbo = new kit

Also, the chasing a bear with the bat is really rather good

When my now wife first moved in with me 20 odd years ago we were walking past a local charity shop when I pointed out they had the same delightful 70’s china that I had. She went very quiet and quickly changed the subject.
