Lot's of rest today/tomorrow/thursday as I'll be riding to Norwich on Friday/Saturday. Should be a fun ride. The distance doesn't feel like much any more but on the other hand I've not done two imperials in a row before. The first day starts off a bit hilly but after that it's super flat all the way. Woo.

Day 1: https://www.strava.com/routes/2914521
Day 2: https://www.strava.com/routes/2956124
 
May have just spent a sizeable amount of money in the rapha sale.... :P

Got 4 different jerseys in small/medium, going to keep my 3 favourites.
 
I spent a long time (in work :p) sorting the route so I reckon it should be good. At some point I want to do a proper one day c2c too. Though I think I'll choose something shorter than this.

Is there a name for a cycle route that calls by all four countries in the UK in 24 hours? That also sounds like a fun challenge.

Good spot!!

Just looking at that exact jersey...

Anyone got any advice on rapha sizing? I'm pretty much a spot on fit for large castelli jerseys. Looking at the size chart im on the lower end of the scale for rapha in large...

Also looking at the Rapha arm warmers too if anyone has them??

depends which cut. Aero /pro is very tight. The rest is fairly similar to other ranges.

That is the thing that always amazes me. Can you imagine being that angry all the time? It must be exhausting.

I think the broken fingers comment is just part of the jokey take on it. I can't see any mention of that elsewhere.

Good going! I took a look and was tempted but really need bibs not jerseys...

How far are you from the Mendips? The Rapha 'factory outlet' store is near there (Shepton Mallet kinda area) and I hear there's always loads of discounted stuff!

Do Garmin Virbs come with the mount you need for a bike?
Click to expand...

Nope they don't, if you mean the bar mount I have one (I bought from wiggle) you can have (only used it for a month or two), the cradle the VIRB sits in it should come with. For an outfront mount I can recommend the Superstar Garmin/GroPro mount. :cool:

Good commute in this morning, as traffic was quieter I slightly extended it to get some more hills in via the cemetery (steady climb followed by a downhill) and nicely pushed my average speed up. I did it for grudas. He will be so proud. Enjoy the silence here as he's banned for a few more hours. ;)
