I was very pleased this morning when I logged into Blogger to discover that I had gone just over 40,000 page views. I am more than pleased about this!
Many thanks to all my loyal readers and anyone new!

Hummvee Short - the perfect short for Brompton riding?
It has taken me ages to find the perfect pair of cycling shorts. Like Jason searching for the Golden Fleece it has not been an easy task. But, I think I have found them.
They are the Hummvee Short by Endura. These are an excellent pair of shorts that don't look like a pair of cycling shorts. They look quite urban and can be worn quite happily out in the field when not cycling. (This is always a good thing).
They are made from a durable nylon ripstop fabric that offers a water repellent finish. Perhaps the best feature for me are the pockets. There are loads and they all seem to be in just the right places. The two front pockets have zips and two, large rear pockets can be used for all manner of items but are labelled as map pockets on the blurb. (I tend to use them to carry a camera when cycling and they are excellent for this purpose).
The inner legs, seat and back have stretchy material, this making things even more comfortable. An elasticised waist and adjustable belt, adds to the general comfort. There are even zipped side vents should you require ventilation.
Also included is a liner pair of padded shorts. These click into place in a very quick and clever way. The liner shorts are great as they hide the facet that these are a pair of cycling shorts after all.
I have black and a newly acquired olive. There is camouflage and indigo should black or olive not to be to your taste.
In short they are brilliant and I will wearing a pair at the Brompton World Championships. If you are looking for a great pair of cycling shorts, then these just might be perfect for you too?

Orange!
Many have asked why is orange such a significant colour for me? The simple answer is I am not really sure?
I have an orange iPhone bumper guard. Orange pen (and sometimes orange ink). I have an orange pair of sunglasses. I like MCC as its tie colours are yellow and orange. I have an orange waterproof jacket. I frequently wear orange socks. My BWC outfit will heavily feature orange and of course I have an orange Brompton bicycle.
That is quite a lot of orange for anyone to be getting on with. I did like orange before getting and orange Brompton but when I decided on buying one for the second time (my first was one of the first Brompton bikes, bought for me in 1990) I didn't have any difficult choices. It had to be orange!
Do any of you out there have a similar colour fixation or is it just yours truly?
