The Velominati - Keepers of the Cog have published a brilliant and funny set of Rules which are compulsory reading.

The humour in the drafting of the Rules is all the more potent because they are true!

Tour of Sufferlandria by Grunter Von Agony

Given the climbs in this year’s Giro d’Italia, this poster seems rather appropriate.

Giro d’Italia 2013

There are a lot of spikes in the route this year which will make for some epic racing. At this stage it looks like a three way tussle between Wiggins, Nibali and Hesjedal for GC honours.

Graeme & Christopher Raeburn collaborate with Rapha Cycling

Brothers Graeme and Christopher Raeburn come together for a cycling collection produced by Rapha. Christopher heads up his own successful label and older sibling Graeme, is a product designer for Rapha.

At first blush this is a striking collection.  I cannot see it on the Rapha web shop yet but no doubt it will appear soon.  The use of large dots is reminiscent of the award winning Paul Smith black merino commuter top.  I think there comes a point when you can have too many large dots on a top.  I think it works for the climbers jersey at the Tour de France but judicious use should be exercised elsewhere.

I love the cut of the Rapha jeans.  I have a love / hate relationship with many jeans but only seem to be on the positive end of the equation when it comes to Rapha jeans.
