Have an incredible Indian adventure and raise vital funds for Acorns on the 2013 Acorns India Cycle Challenge. Exclusively for Acorns supporters, participants on this 400km cycle challenge will see a different side to Rajasthan, the ‘land of the kings’ as they weave through the back streets, small villages and desert landscapes. Days in the saddle will be long and hot but one of the Seven Wonders of the World, the Taj Mahal, will be your target, pulling you onwards towards the finish line.
For those wanting to give something back there is also the opportunity of extending your stay to include a community project working towards improving the lives of local children, further information available soon.

That's a weird looking carpark they have themselves there...
Don't know Regents Park nor exactly where this happened, but presumably this was on the road (Outer Circle?) as pedestrian refuge and speed limit...
This is halfords. I mean what do we expect. I bought some brake pads from them and when I actually looked at the pack it was covered in grease...
Is this one of those sticker prices that is far more than you will end up paying? You can get something like 105 di2 for about £900 which comes...
Cheers . That's something I've been considering.👍
I mean seriously people - it's an open goal right there...
Yes, most unexpected. I was so surprised at not seeing the usual Gammon bollocks under a cycling-related story that I nearly stopped for a red light.
I've seen Pogacar on 170 and 165 cranks too
