All the Gear and No Idea - Deloitte RAB 2012

 

First things first, I er need a bike.....oh and a helmet, water bottles and cages, lights, little computer thingy, spare inner tubes, puncture repair kits, those little plastic lever thingys and oh so much Lycra....really?  Is there no other way?

Good rides around Edinburgh

Anyone got any good rides up there?

Going up on Monday, day after the Ronde thingy.

Particularly after non main road cobbles, steep climbs, and nice little rides out of Edinburgh and back.

If anybody has any Garmin Data, that would be much appreciated.

Finally: Can you cycle up Arthur's seat, and would you want to?

Cheers in advance.

Get to Know them, or Leave

So, because you are all roadies, you've probably at one point read these, but for those who haven't, here they are. Then, whenever anyone says just #5 it, you'll know what they mean. Devil Credit to Velominati: http://www.velominati.com/

Rule #1  // Obey The Rules.

Rule #2  // Lead by example. It is forbidden for someone familiar with The Rules to knowingly assist another person to breach them.

Commercial Endorsements

Just out of interest, I wanted to collect all the commercial endorsements cyclists had that weren't to do with cycling brands (eg Shimano, Oakley etc.)

Famously, Victoria Pendleton did that bread thing, but what other ones are there?

Oh, and I just saw Sir Chris on a Gillette advert. Surprise

Anyone know of any others?

What do you think?

Deloitte RAB 2012? Ignorance was bliss....

How did this happen? 

Well, you know how it is?  You're looking for your next (possibly-mid-life-crisis-related) adventure/challenge, you bump into Mack in the pub and he suggests you hop on a charity cycle ride to raise money for the Paralympians.  Being a fan of the 'why not?' camp rather than the 'why', how could I say no to such a fantastic idea?  So, here I am signed up for Deloitte RAB 2012, Lands End to John O'Groats mammoth bike ride, yay!
