Gah! I don't believe it! I LIVE in Manchester but will be AWAY that weekend in LONDON! For a wedding, so no getting out of it. Gutted doesn't cover it. Hmnph.
Howies have done a couple in the past, they are usually pretty good. I might pop along to see what all the fuss is about.

Having met the Rapha people they are really really nice people and are very passionate about cycling.
I must point out that unfortunately they did not give me ANY Rapha kit
