You know that warm fuzzy feeling you get when you look at your stupidly expensive carbon fibre rocket ship?

Well, try multipling that by 10,000….

Oh… Erm… Actually…. Hang on a minute…

Kerblam! Andalucia Bike Race here we come!

Again thanks to Schwalbe for supplying me with the perfect tyres for the event. I’m running Racing Ralph 2.25 with Double Defense casing. Sort of like a half way house between a standard tubeless ready (risk of tyre slashes on fast and sharp Spanish rocks) and a UST (too heavy for racing).  They role super quick and rail a corner nicely, especially given the slightly lower pressure that you can run them at compared to a standard tubeless ready set up. Nice.

The whole family flies on Friday. And Ant. Does he know what he’s let himself in for?  : )
