impulse shopping ....

Well, at least it wasn't stupid impulse shopping! You got great stuff you need and will use. No harm done!

Bike stuff is never bad

There's a Pearl Izumi outlet store?? Oh the temptation the temptation.

There are actual several PI outlet stores- there just happens to be one right next to the freeway, just north of Phoenix, AZ, and we were driving that way last night.

I just learned that there is a PI outlet store about 30 miles south of me.

Is it worth the travel?

There's one about 20 minutes from here. The new stuff is still pricey, but I've scored a few times on the sale racks. It's always fun to go in though.

Yesterday I went to the Biketires Direct store looking for a new saddle to try and came out with a saddle, a new PI convertable jacket,some PI armwarmers, and asst.bars and fizzy drink stuff. All this stuff was on clearance plus we had a credit so it was all under $175. The funniest part was my husband was at work and got online to use the credit and they sent him a receipt. So before I had even made it home he sent me a text wondering what I bought. I laughed because then he told me he had ways of knowing when I spent $$$ I. Told him he got off cheap because they had a Leopard bike that would have matched my new jacket and saddle perfectly but I restrained myself. The PI outlet store is nice but a lot more trouble for me

I think the clearance stuff can be worth it. There were quite a few things at 50% off, and the first time I went I got two jerseys marked 75% off (both high viz yellow, which I wanted).
