Rapha, nice but a bit pricey?

Was there a discount voucher inside this one?

As a disproportionately sweaty member of society and one that uses the Dettol in wash I find it works really well for me.

Edit: My clothes that is, I don't bathe in the bloody stuff.

Sadly not

Went mountain biking today, permastench on my lightweight journey resulted in me being told to sit still and not gesticulate for the entire car journey home, as the driver could not cope with the smell. I had to eat snacks as if I was cursed with scoble t rex arms.

How good is the dettol wash stuff?

Wash it at 50 degrees.

wont it shrink? its not the superlightweight one

yes haha. doesn't have quite the same ring though

I doubt it. It's quite a hardy fabric.

100km on the 24th, and then just hope for good weather!

They don't.

This is not a new problem for you...

Easy, you put a few hours in before everybody else wakes up and starts drinking again.

That's pretty much my plan. I think it's doomed for failure.

Standard Mum joke event horizon.

("Your mum's so fat, she's like an event horizon - you can't see beyond her..")

That was my plan. Then I smashed my foot and haven't even left my flat this week. Hardly a good warm up!

24th - 85 miles
26th -31st - fingers crossed, but unlikely that I'll get anything done unless it's after dark. Stupid, non-teacher wife and non-opening nursery...

At the moment it's looking like I need to try and do 200km on 27th and 28th and then hopefully I can get the remainder in on the way to, and after work.

Aw no sorry to hear that dude, hope you heal up soon.

I know when I'm out on the road completing the 500 at this time of year instead of being at home with my family, they all think I'm a fucking legend.

For folks that are "in the know", will there be new knee / leg warmers in the Shadow collection?

I've been holding out on purchasing new ones, but my current knee and leg warmers are so shot they're a bout to develop holes lol. Materials lost all elasticity and little rubber fibers are shedding all over the place!

My winsie arrived today, just needs mask and fins to accessorise.

What do I wear tomorrow?

I was thinking PT softshell base, PT SS Jersey and wind jacket with PT Thermal bibs, DHB knee warmers.

PT softshell would've been ideal; I love that thing and I used it so much that its gone for repair :( Don't care if I get wet as long as I stay warm.

Answers on postcards before 3 PM for Christmas delivery etc etc.

I'm getting Classic Thermal Bibs for chrimmas. Not felt cold in my standard classics so far this "winter". What temperature are the Thermals effective at?
