I'm ok. It's when I try the orange laces in there that you have to worry.
You need some pink ones on there :twisted: would go with the green would go with the green supers,looking pro and all that,,,
I'll see who has what in stock. I may need a stock of laces, given what I just ordered..........................
Anyhow, also have some really good news, the return of Parentini. Starting off with the Scatto jersey.

So, fun story, did a big ride Sunday, two rides Monday (commutes). Pushed it quite hard on the way home. Felt fine. Went for a walk. Went upstairs to read the news on my Ipad, lay on the bed.
Had a heart flutter, not unusual. Had it before, lasts a second, odd feeling. Didn't stop, irregular beat. Thought it would wear off. Hadn't. Went to Dr Tuesday morning, called ambulance. Admitted to Hospital with a heart rate of 180-200. Not all true beats but, still. Took 12 hours to bring it down with drugs. Lots of blood. Two drips of saline, one of phosphate.
All results negative, discharged yesterday. Not a lot of sleep so taking it easy now. Have to see cardiologist in due course.My blog: http://www.roubaixcycling.cc (kit reviews and other musings)

I'd put money on a combination of over training, under rest, stressy kids, and dehydration.My blog: http://www.roubaixcycling.cc (kit reviews and other musings)

Hoping all stays well.
Regarding your laces, it should be red on the left and green on the right!0 -

(Superfit) mate of mine diagnosed with this and had catherter ablation. Took two goes but it sorted him out completely with little time taken off work (he could have swung it if he wanted to) and only a short time resting.0 -

Drink more, eat more, sleep more. That's my advice
Maybe you need a rev limiter.seanoconn - gruagach craic!0 -

I can do those. Though my capacity for sleep seems less nowadays.
Rev limiter? Dunno, but I may have to get a Fenix 5 again to monitor my heart rate. It's important you see.My blog: http://www.roubaixcycling.cc (kit reviews and other musings)

Jersey looks like football kit from the 70s and the gilet looks like it should be part of a shell suit from the 80s...!0

It comes, of course, in other colours. The jersey has a DWR coating so water runs off. I appreciate that the Gilet could be considered a bit, fetish...but it does the job.My blog: http://www.roubaixcycling.cc (kit reviews and other musings)

Hmm, other colours needed methinks....I got a Mossa waterproof/wimdproof jersey after reading your review and have to say it’s the best bit of kit I own, plus it’s different from all my mates in their Gabba’s!
Il await your fullest review....0 -
