Raphaaaaaa... oh no

[Amy]

Sorry - I can't stop laughing...

But it's also kind of scary - not changed much has he?

Once a month, the Weekend FT comes with a supplement called "How To Spend It".

As the name suggests, the magazine provides a service to those who need help spending their telephone number salaries as efficiently as possible. It does this mostly be featuring the most extravagant brands/products available that will guarantee the reader only has to pay a single visit to a shop in order to satsify their monthly spending cravings.

Guess which brand features in an article in this week's edition? *





* Yes, Rapha of course. As do "Assos DB", and "Paul Smith 531" (which I hadn't heard of).

Well the Assos DB stuff is just ridiculous, however...

I did manage to get my hands on an original Rapha Softshell this afternoon, in black, with the rubbery shoulders, pink lining, ipod pocket + cable loops and you'll be pleased to hear Marek, ludicrously deep pockets!

To be quite frank, i love it! I might just enjoy winter training this winter...

It was a little more than the new 'Lightweight' version, but a much better jacket for it. And it seems, very hard to find. It was the last one Sigma Sport had, God bless them!

[Sylv]

I had to wear mine this morning!

[Will]

I wasn't sure what to wear today, but in the end stayed with shorts, and work a long sleeve Helly Hanson base layer

I think I got it just about right

I guess I left a little later than you guys though (about 8:15) so it may have been a bit warmer for me

[Will]

I saw a cyclist who'd been knocked off as well

It was on the Kings Rd, and it looked like she'd been hit by a van moving into the cycle lane

She was shaking from shock, but otherwise seemed ok, and had a crowd of people around her helping out

Sean, don't take up being a cabbie for a living, I think you might mean Theobald's Road and Gray's Inn Gardens.

Ditto. And knee warmers

[-Adam-]

Maybe not the original Sean, but it does have deeper pockets!

And definately better than the lastest reincarnation...
