Day 287 - Would rather be in Mexico or Majorca

Team GB were in Mexico last week and are now training in Majorca. I can see why when I look out of the window at the dismal weekend weather. I need a job that allows me to only be in the office on rainy days!

Team GB take gold and another World Record in Mexico

Day 260 - Team GB

You will probably be aware that I'm a bit of a Team GB cycling fan and a one with a little more money than sense.. or so I'm told! This means - you'll also have seen - that I enjoy wearing the team colours, see Tour of Britain and No Legs. Since purchasing my long sleeved jersey back in September, I've been on the lookout for a short sleeved version but most suppliers are either reporting this to be discontinued or are charging exorbitant marked up prices.

So when I spotted on eBay, not only the genuine article but one marked up with "This is not a reproduction item. This jersey was made for british cycling and issued to a British cycling team member", I had to place a bid. Yes, I won it, just confirming my 'more money than sense' comment.

I've since found out that this was issued to Luke Rowe to ride in the fated world road race in Florence this year. I now think this will fit better in a frame hung on my wall rather on me!
