Please get back to me with what you think of the DHC winter kit design. All those winter miles usually makes the whites grey so have used more blue in this design. Would be great to hear what you think.

Winning Celebration : Fail !

Make sure you practise your winning celebration; or else ...............

Thought for the day...........

"But to say that the race is the metaphor for the life is to miss the point. The race is everything. It obliterates whatever isn't racing. Life is the metaphor for the race."

Frank vs. The Volcano: Haleakala, Part Deux

http://www.velominati.com/blog/routes/frank-vs-the-volcano-haleakala-part-deux/

The French call it la fringale. It’s one of the worst conditions that can befall a cyclist, this, when our reserves are tapped dry and yet we still have some distance to ride and some obstacle to cover. It’s happened to me twice in my life, and one of them was when I rode Haleakala in January. Of course, I haven’t looked up the exact definition of this wonderful word - fringale – mostly because I’m afraid the definition won’t express to me the meaning I’ve already applied to it. I see the words “fringe” and “gale”, overlapping such that you can’t spell one without the other. Fringale expresses, in my interpretation, that you’ve been torn to shreds (fringe) and left to be scattered to the four winds (gale).
