thanks David,

Rapha designers read these comments and high-mileage touring like yours is a particularly good test for the clothing. I’d pass this on but I know they’ve already seen it

Must have been a great trip, I’m hoping to do something like that myself eventually.

Echo most of your comments, I have found the Rapha ‘Fixed’ kit to be ideal for light weight touring.

I’ve just returned from a 650km round trip tour of Bretagne, in north west France, most of the time wearing the fixed shorts, baselayer and fixed jersey. It was all really comfortable both on and off the bike.
Both merino and Schoeller wicks almost perfectly, never seems to get smell sweaty and the big pad in the fixed shorts is all day touring heaven!

Thanks Douglas,

I’m off for a road trip of my own to Utah, Arizona, New Mexico and Colorado. I’ll try and get a few landscapes along the way.

The site goes from strength to strength, more power to your photography Michael it’s in the blood.
Love the shirt and the comments, I could make it fit me too but it would look funny with the giant rip down the back…

That would have Rapha in stitches.

The clarity, light, composition, and ultimately life in your images are absolutely vibrant, in the
best cases, leaping off the page (screen). Excellent work, which as a creative soul, i imagine, only spurs you on to surpass it. Thanks for sharing.

On a more mundane topic, any suggestion on how to get the campaign code / discount code
button on the rapha site to work. For some reason, i’ve had difficulty with in the past, as is the
current case with my attempt to use the survey coupon. any help would be appreciated.

Kaiko,
I didn’t wear the scarf yesterday but I wore the fixed shirt and scarf when I was shooting Nevada City. It made me feel like David Niven in a classic film.
Stay tuned for more photography…I’m heading out on the road with the Continental boys for a week, can’t wait.

Stephen,
At least we can take pride in the fact we’re motivated enough to work up a sweat. Wish more people would discover the benefits of cycling (especially commuting), then we’d be one big happy and sweaty family.

I’ll pass on the good ideas Willy. Wish I’d been paying more attention last year and ordered a white one too.
