Just a word of warning to those that will have a 50+ jersey for the first time

They need gentle running in. Don't just go out and do a 50 miler on it first time out.

Put it on and make certain that it is not creased on the back- Sit in the armchair and get a glass or cup of whatever you fancy by the side of you. Sit there for 30 minutes to ensure that the material is stretching to the form that it is surrounding. Then it is time for some gentle exercise. Wear it down to the Pub for your usual 4.76 litres of local beverage and stagger home.

Then tomorrow- you can finally introduce it to the bike. But watch out-Those jerseys are made for riding so don't do a ride of longer than 8 hours first time out- You may regret it later.
