I am not feeling like a 'Teddy tuff Guy' today so I am hiding from the weather, writing and nursing a cup of tea. Winter training is going rubbish, but I am at present avoiding the panic as the countdown to Spring gains pace.
So as you do in these moments, you surf, the web not waves that is. I came across this recent posting on the Rapha site. I visit it every now and again as they are involved in bike culture on many levels. I think that this is great, and a better way to spend your marketing budget than just posting an advert in a mag. It gives back an experience, a memory for the treasure chest which will be more long lasting than an advert (although it costs more).
Watch this vid of the first every Cyclocross Roller race, I laughed my socks off.
