A brief note to say this blog will be taking a break for the next three weeks and there will be no coverage of the World Championships, or much else, until the end of the month.
Housekeeping
Supporter Kit and Housekeeping News
With the Tour de France coming into view a monthly reminder that you can get supporter kit from Prendas. As well as getting some nice kit it helps keep the wheels turning here, paying from everything like website hosting and photo accounts to funding route recons to ensure insightful stage previews for the Tour de France rather than relying on the race roadbook and Google.
Take your pick from the summer jersey, a cap with a new design or comfortable Coolmax socks. all sold via the friendly British shop Prendas Ciclismo who ship around the world.
There’s also a house-keeping discussion below where your feedback would be appreciated.
Supporter Kit
You can support this website by purchasing kit. Loyal readers will know there’s no hard sell, just a reminder once every month or two and if many have bought already it’s fine to read without buying. The profit from kit sales are split between the shop and this site and help keep things spinning here.
Given winter is approaching for many it’s probably best to plug the socks, the INRNG supporter socks are good on a summer’s day but work well under overshoes and the black comes in handy for the winter grime. Will they make you go faster? Probably not but you can chip in something if you like the calendar or the idea of some else reading the UCI rule book so you don’t have to.
What you see is what you get, they have a 75mm medium high cuff. They’re made in Italy from Coolmax and Lycra. They’re for sale with UK shop Prendas Ciclismo.
Supporter Jerseys Back In Stock
The supporter jerseys are back in stock with Prendas Ciclismo. Made in Italy by Santini this is a lightweight jersey for summer. While stocks last.
Sponsor The Inner Ring
There’s a blank space for one advert on this website. It could be your chance to reach over one hundred thousand intelligent cycling fans every month.
Supporter Caps
Want to support this site? Buying a cap helps keep things on the road.
They’re in stock, in two sizes, in black or white and available from the prendas.co.uk shop.
A big thanks or, more appropriately, “chapeau” to all those who have bought one or even several, it’s much appreciated.
Thanks to Trek
Every site sponsor gets thank-you note and Trek have been here in July and August with a promotion for the new Emonda frame.
There’s also a reminder about the supporter caps and your chance to win one below too.
Supporter Caps
The supporter caps have arrived… and sold out faster than a rider offered a six figure “loan” from Alexander Vinkourov.
Suddenly it all feels more real than tapping away at a keyboard. To get your hands on one visit the prendas.co.uk shop.
Sponsor The Inner Ring
Enjoy this site? It’s read by over a hundred thousand intelligent cycling fans every month and there’s the chance to advertise here, promote your business and support this site.
Thanks to Trek
Every site sponsor gets thank-you note and Trek are the sponsor for April. It’s an auspicious month given the focus on the classics for the Trek Factory Racing team. The ad is there to show Fabian Cancellara’s cobble-eating Trek Domane. Within days of the ad appearing on here the Swiss won the Tour of Flanders.
As well as the thank-you note since we’re talking site sponsorship there’s a quick housekeeping note where the elusive INRNG t-shirt gets an airing.
