2010-06-13 - Rapha Gentlemans TTT - London to Brighton to London

+1

Plus I totally forgot to thank 6PT for the quick draft in to the team.. JAMIE pulled out at 3am and props to 6pt for actually answering the phone at 6am Sunday morning let alone agreeing to hi tail it in to central London for a 120 mile ride...

It's not like I have anything else to do with my Sundays. I was pleasantly surprised I made it to the end in one piece.

120miles, a big fixie skid to finnish. Unclipped and my legs pretty much gave way.

Finally relented and wore some Rapha..

First bit of cheap, substandard Rapha gear I've seen

"What do you mean 'there's no coffee left'???"

"golf clap"

I'll give you 'cheap' but that's 100% prime quality beef!
