Saturday 8 March 2014

Rapha's lady love and Vulpine's new gear are all on my mind.

At last the weekend you say...

Today has been a bit strange really, for a start waking up in my mum’s house rather than my own at 5 in the morning is a weird feeling.

Travelling to work I found it hard to stay awake as I was up until early this morning finishing posts and making sure everything was ready for today. Because the different bus I had to get today arrived at work really early i had time to kill.
I visited a well known coffee brand for a tea, yes tea. Why would anyone drink the “unique blend” that comes from their machines?

Unique blend, meaning a blend of beans from unknown sources all roasted together until they resemble beetles that have died and been left out in the sun too long. Then ground and left in a chamber for who knows long before being crammed into a porta-filter with no consistency what so ever to weight of shots and taste.

After avoiding the “coffee” I headed to work…

Today was unusually quiet for a Saturday, the only reason for this could be blamed on the weather, another sunny day. Nothing of any real importance happened so I’ll skip ahead to what’s happening right now…



Strade Bianche

The Italian race was won today by  the  Polish National Champion Michal Kwaitkowski of my favorite UCI Pro Tour team Omega-Pharma QuickStep, after dropping Peter Sagan on the final climb.

Rapha Women’s 100

Rapha announces this years date for the women's 100. An event designed to encourage women to get on their bikes and take part in riding with other women who enjoy cycling all over the world.

Rapha are offering all who complete the rides a woven commemorative badge to show off to all your friends. However you do need to sign up at Rapha.cc and join an official ride, unfortunately currently the closest is in London (if you live in the South), however there is also a ride in Cardiff, Cambridge and 2 in Manchester if you live closer to these cities. 

This year’s date is Sunday 20th of July and Rapha are hoping to beat entries of over 4000 women worldwide last year to double at this years rides.

Vulpines new season

Vulpine unleashed their new season to the web yesterday. The spring collection features New jerseys, merino boxers and merino t shirts for men. While offering New jerseys, t shirts and boy shorts for women.
They also created a beautiful lookbook which shows all the range being used in practical ways, so you know what you’re buying looks good and that it’s up to the challenge when you decide to jump on the bike.
If you check out the lookbook be sure to take advantage of the free extras on the last page (not going to tell you what they are so you'll have to look for yourselves)

I’m off to chill for a bit,
