The Smithfields Nocturne is here again this saturday – i'll be down cheering on the LP boys and Delia racing for VV. Ch4 16th June @ 7 for those of you who don't like crowds or London.
Good luck finding a spot to lock your fixie.(image from last years')

life vs riding; nice end to a busy week (riding wins again)

I received my new rapha city stuff yesterday and just rode it in today, predictability its just the best, I have had a busy few weeks, failing to get training in while slaying list of things to do longer than a leonard cohen songs, so nice to end on a positive bike related note. And with training, gym classes, yoga, work, meetings, presentations, i was getting fed up of changing outfit around 6-8 times a day. So while it may seem decadent to dress in pricey rapha stuff its more based around laziness of just changing once/twice and looking great all day. Enjoy your weekends.

Rapha Continental – The Movie from RAPHA on Vimeo.

Really nice collection of films on the rapha blog (there's that R word again), anyone stuck for my present ideas my christmas list can be found on the rapha site also titled "shop". i find it hard to swoon over other brands kit like i do rapha stuff, being a designer & a cyclist is the quickest way to bankrupt yourself i reckon. but hey ho.

Most by Ben Ingham, who also has done lots of nice rapha photography in the past, long my it continue.

I have posted up my personnel favourite of the films (although ingham didnt do this one), its 17 mins long (a long time in this digital world we live in), but worth sitting through, very inspirational shots as well as interview bits with the riders. gets me thinking about planning even more for next year, the states may have to wait for me till 2013 though, i'd love to ride across america, or at least parts of it.
