The 2 days of English summer happened this weekend. This coincided nicely with the LFGSS ride to Oxford on Saturday and the final L2P ride before the main event in under 2 weeks time!
Wayne got us the CS Grupetto kit this week which the roadiescum(tm) trio of Wayne, Des and myself wore to full effect on Saturday. It will be coming out again for our triumphant ride along the Champs Elysees very soon..

I can’t be bothered going into any detail for these rides other than cheers everyone they were both great fun and will take a couple of days for my legs to feel fresh. 🙂
In technology news I’ve bought a new Powertap. Yes, another one! This one is the 2.4, the wireless one. I’ve sent the CPU of the wired one off to be repaired but in the meantime I thought to hell with it and just bought an almost new wireless one. I might even end up using this on Londres-Paris. Power addict.
Also bought a pair of Skins Powersox to try as coach is all about recovery. The marketing spiel behind these screams “buuulllllshhiiiittt” at me but I’ve clearly got more money than sense at the moment so to hell with it – any potential legal advantage shouldn’t be frowned on.. especially since I’ve seen the guys I’ll be riding with on L2P! Scary-fast.
did you get some long enough to go over your quads???? 😉
recover, recover, re-cover
No, just the sock ones. Was going to get the full ones but didn’t feel like shelling out ?60.
Good because I’ve since worked out why I’m cashed up.. I forgot to pay my credit card! Fsck!
