Building Character


It was all going grand until my chain snapped. Sending me hard onto my left side.
A brief slide along the tarmac. Ripped gloves.
The bike sustained a bent lever and a torn saddle. Luckily my Rapha Pro Team Jacket and winter bib longs didn't suffer any abrasion damage.
I've got a sore wrist and road rash.
Ah well, a new chain and a ride doon the Tweed Valley tomorrow it is then.

Gently Gently Catch the Monkey




Maybe heading out at 9am this morning was a mistake. The roads were super icy.
Some amazing scenery through the lanes tho and had the roads to myself.
The early bird catches the worm.

Audio / Visual

I dont often put music up here, but I am liking these tunes a lot at the moment.
Think i need to get my decks dusted down.

Craftsmanship


Had the pleasure of seeing behind the door, down the rabbit hole indeed.

IL DOLORE ROSA


My good friend Simon over at the fantastic historical photo journal IL DOLORE has produced another batch of his world famous Rosa and Verde oils.
Verde oil is perfect to wake the legs up pre-ride, and Rosa great for the restorative post ride massage.
Get them here before its too late!
