The DealCatcher's here with three stonking deals to give your week that exciting I-can't-wait-for-my-new-cycling-gear-to-arrive feeling.
You know the one. You click check out on the basket, you get the buzz of an email notification telling you that your order has been confirmed, and then you sit on that warm feeling of excitment for two or three working days while you wait for delivery.
Here, why not give yourself those butterflies of excitement right now, but on the cheap? The DealCatcher's got three great deals that'll add something new to your wardrobe.
Take your pick from a heavily discounted budget Boardman road bike - which actually stands up as one of the best entry-level road bikes money can buy.
How about a pair of Women's Shimano WR32 Road Shoes? A great all round shoe that's comfortable, secure, and sleek looking.
Finally, give your Monday a boost, as well as all your upcoming rides with a 2-for-1 deal on GO Isotonic Energy Gels from Science in Sport.
Halfords
First up we've got everyone's favourite former time trial specialist, current TV personality and cycling advocate, Chris Boardman's entry level Boardman Road Sport.
It's a solid bike that's just seen an extra 5% swiped off of its asking price over at Halfords. That might have something to do with the recent announcement of the 2016 performance range, which you can read more about below.

The Shimano Women's WR322 Road Shoe is a flagship member of Shimano's Dynalast pedal form aiding technology.
The idea is to create a shoe that promotes a smoother, more energy-efficient upstroke for each turn of your pedals. Dynalast will help reduce energy loss on long rides, and improve the comfort and health of your heel area, as well as your calf, and hamstring muscles.
Not only are they comfortable and good for your feet, the WR322s look great too. Sleek white, with three relatively understated straps, and silvery-black details make the WR322s a compelling choice in road footwear.

Finally, get a great deal on GO Isotonic Energy gels from SiS before Thursay.
Whenever we've reviewed these, they've always performed well. A solid 8/10 every time shows consistency, right?
Our nutrition reviewer David Else had the following to say about the pinapple flavour:
"High performing gel with carbohydrates for energy and fluid for hydration; tastes good, slips down easily, and is fair value."
