The weather was glorious, the roads were reasonably quiet, and most of us were out enjoying some Bank Holiday cycling! But now we're a little achy and a little sad to be back at work.
What better way of recovering from the heat and those post-Bank Holiday blues than with a big haul from the trusty DealCatcher?
Today we've got three jerseys from big brands at a variety of price points, a set of Campagnolo wheels, Continental tyres, Muc-Off chamois cream, Topeak pumps, and Castelli shorts.
Tuck in!
To kick things off we've got Altura's fantastic Peloton 2 Jersey.
It not only performed well on road.cc review it takes the cake in the looks department.
The 7/10 jersey was complimented for it's smooth technical fabric, comfort and spacious storage pockets.
Our second is £12 more expensive than the Altura jersey featured before, but performed slightly better on road.cc review.
The 8/10 jersey is Castelli's fifth attempt at a Prologo jersey and it shows. Our man George Hill called it a "very good summer cycling top," and with more good weather on the horizon you're bound to make use of the jersey's excellent breathability, strong looks and comfort.
When the long sleeve all-season edition of this DealCatcher's most expensive jersey came in for review, our man Stu Kerton called it "quality".
The Ale PRR range marries winter performance with excellent summer performance via micro perforated fabric construction which makes the change between season "seamless".
When the weather's as changeable as it is at the moment, surely that's something worth considering as a massive plus point?
Castelli's Free Aero shorts are "premium" according to our tech editor Dave Arthur's 9/10 review of the men's bib version of these shorts.
These bib-less shorts are designed with performance in mind. Vortex-dimpled fabric on the legs adds layers of aero performance not usually seen in shorts at this price point.
The Giro Air mesh-like leg gripper adds better all-over grip to prevent the frequent problem of slippage in non-bib shorts.
Plus, the female-specific Progetto X2 Air seat pad gives exceptional comfort.
Topeak's orignial Road Master Blaster pump sits at the top of our "14 best cycling tyre pumps" guide, and for good reason.
We said that pump was a "well-thought-out frame pump that's a reliable companion for longer excursions," and this one's no different.
Except it looks a bit prettier!
Continental's Grand Prix 4000S II tyres are "excellent big-chambered race tyres with a fast smooth feel" according to our man Dave Atkinson.
You can read his review below if you need a bit more info before dropping the very reasonable £28.99 that they're currently available for over at Wiggle.
Campagnolo's highly accessible but exceptionally high performing Scirocco wheels are an excellent option if you're looking to improve your ride without breaking the bank.
The 35mm deep rim gives you some aerodynamic advantages without compromising your stability.
Plus, these are aluminium wheels are clinchers, so benefit from improved ride quality.
Our final deal of the day comes to you by way of Muc-Off.
The brand known for cleaning are also looking to make your riding experience more comfortable as well as better looking.
This Luxury Chamois Cream does just that.
We can say that with authority because our man Dave Atkinosn gave the cream an 8/10 when it came our way for review.

It is indeed victim blaming but it's not a new one 😐
It sure is!
If this happened to my wife or mother I would make it my personal mission in life to find and torture this person until he accidentally died.
