Garmin 200 wanted

Hi all
I am in the market for a Garmin 200 and remember someone posted a link for one and a Jersey for £99 (I think).

Tried searching but can't find the link anywhere.

Does anyone have it by any chance?

TIA

how often do you pump yours tires?

I seem to have lost 12 psi out of 100 in two weeks.. so 12%

This is after about 10 rides

I don't think theres anything wrong with the tubes, unless the valve screw cap (presta) isn't sealing well enough

Rapha sample sale - Manchester

So I received an email inviting me to a preview evening for the Manchester Rapha sample sale, with the chance, allegedly, to pick up a bargain or five without the jumble sale madness that will accompany the full-on event tomorrow (Saturday). I arrived about 30 minutes before it was due to start, which handily put me right at the front of the queue. Talking to the chap on the door established that one of the picks was the Paul Smith performance rain jackets for £50 (close to 75% off I think), so I went straight in that direction once everyone was allowed in. 

Let them eat cake - CAKELOSPORTIVE 5/6/2012

Patisserie Cyclisme and Polocini have teamed up to offer a Cakelosportive. Seeing as we have an extra bank holiday for the jubilee celebrations what better way to finish a long weekend than with a ride along some glorious Cheshire roads. We expect the roads to be quiet whilst the plebs stay at home glued to their boxes watching the Royal celebrations!!!

The route is nice and gentle and features a feed station at the Eureka cyclists cafe. As always I'll be bold and state that not only do we have the best food of any sportives but we are also the best value.

Latvian cycling route

Interesting deal:

A bicycle road in the total length of 500 km may be constructed in Latvia in the frames of a EU bicycle road project, that would link Greece and Finland. In the Latvian section, the road may be constructed near the seaside. Local authorities intend to benefit from the project and are already planning to create services for the cycling tourists.
