That first week back at work is over with, the Christmas pounds are beginning to burn off, and things are getting back to normal. Which means it's time to start thinking ahead to the spring, right?
As if you needed more help fantasising about warmer weather and the potential of sunny trips across The Channel, today's DealCatcher should get you in the mood to start planning.
La Vie en Velo offers highly organised cycling trips to Europe for exceptional prices. In today's DealCatcher we're looking at the company's Spring Classics offer.
Other than that today's DealCatcher has a very good-looking commuter jersey from Altura, and some energy bars from Science in Sport to round things off.

La Vie en Velo know, as well as we do, that Spring is one of the most exciting times of year for cycle racing. So they've created this package to get as many of you over to Europe to experience some of that excitement first hand.
If you're a Monument fan, but haven't ever made it on to the Continent to get a taste of the action, now's your chance.
La Vie en Velo is in charge of transport - for both you and your bike - the company will book hotels, fill itineraries, and point you and your fellow cyclists towards the best spots to eat and the best sights to take in.
All you'll have to worry about is enjoying your time in the saddle!

Fluroescent jerseys have never looked so good.
Altura's Night Vision range treads the line between garish hi-viz numbers and trendy bits of kit very well, but we reckon they've knocked it out of the park with this Commuter Jersey.
At a third off, and with a solid road.cc review for the range, what's not to like?
Science in Sport
If the cold's getting you down, or the rain's sapping your energy, Science in Sport's GO Energy + Caffeine Gels can give you a boost.
Seriously, the boost should lift your legs and your spirits. Our man Caven O'Hara thinks so, at least.
He said "there's a definite lift in how you feel, but you will need to restrict how many you use on a ride." Let that be a sign that the things work!
