Baby wipes are a staple and always in my race bag. Especially in the cross season. They are handy to for wiping your face post race, pre podium. Sprucing up your bike pre race when you don't have time to splash a load of water all over it. The number one rule of pro euro cycling - ness. Is a gleaming clean bike at public events. Am I right? Got some of these new Muc-off wipes to try. Not
Today this man sat next to me on the DLR. The dinky monorail broke so I looked over his shoulder for a full 30 minutes. That's right I was within 30cm of a Kindle being used.
I decided if David Barnes, aged 12 can do it. I'm sure I could figure it out. Had my first go, ever, at riding the track. It was also my first go at riding a fixed wheel bike. At the begining of the session there was a tumble and 4 riders went down like skittles. My life flashed before my eyes, there was frantic wracking of ones brains, me trying to grabs a handful of ghost brake.I kn
white and pink don't go together, i think this is smart. Its been parked in bermondsey for a little while. Bob 'Rcing Driver' Beaumont says "Its a Triumph Herald. made from 1961 to 1972ish. the early ones were 948cc a bit gutless. They did a sporty version called a Vitesse with a 2000cc 6 cylinder engine. This one looks like a 1200cc one! They were quite common in the 60's but rarish now.
I like beas of bloomsbury. I always go there. its an addiction.
Andrew Diprose (The Ride Journal) and I were looking through old stuff from Monty's first years when he started Condor .I found a photograph with 'weekend with Lulu' written on the back in blue ink.This is what was on the front. After 3 hours of going down memory lane my fingers had that weird oily, dirty, grubby feeling. #oldvintagestuff
I put my hand up and said I'd do it. Basically nearly every day someone inside the Rapha Condor Sharp machine gets an email or a letter from someone inside the Western / Southern Euro Zone requesting team cards. So far they have sent me 1. A coupon for french money 2. Stamp addressed envelopes 3. Envelopes where they have written postage paid 4. a 2 euro coin 5. 4x 5 euro notes 6. some kinda of
I first Wikipedia'd David Millar (properly) when his signed jersey turned up at in a marketing office I was working at and the then Finance Director refused to frame it and put it on the wall. That was back when Saunier Duval-Prodir was a team. I thought it was the best thing ever. He was a real cycling star and a British star. It had been signed in this awful thick black marker pen onto a lycra
Actually that is so far from the truth its not true, but since I got shockingly bad at cycling for whatever reason. Too much cake, virus, too much cycling, these cycling super stars keep cropping up. So 2 weeks ago I chatted to Victoria Pendleton. Last week I had a Pizza Express with the Rapha Condor Sharp boys after their win at Peterborough and Russ Downing sat next to me. Last night I attended
I was given a present. Well, more that someone was given a sample and its not to their taste. They are tasteless by my standards. Here are some points I'd like to raise about my new favourite bike thing: 1. Do you have a bag that you can see your face in? 2. All that glitters is gold 3. But proper riders don't ride with saddlebags? Well, my girl back is small and I can't fit anything in my jers
The only way to get better at things you hate is to ride it and hate it but try your best. I was lantern rouge last night, I've never been that in my whole life. Pic by ViciousKev
