To celebrate the imminent Tour of Britain, due to get under way on 11th September, we have created - with our team co-sponsors Rapha and Sharp - a special edition Supporter’s Pack to help you follow the Rapha Condor Sharp team. The pack includes an exclusive wall chart to help you keep track of developments, a stylish pair of Union Jacks in team colours, as well as stickers and face masks of team riders.
If you're heading to London don’t forget to look out for the 'H' van at the London stage of the Tour of Britain.

Over the bank holiday weekend we decided to end our summer on a high. A sugary cake induced high. Claire from our London office and 'Curley' from the women's team joined forces for three days of riding.  You might have seen our tweets?

Would it be fair to say cyclists like a cafe stop or two? If so, then these riders took that notion and ran with it, deciding it was time to test out the tearooms of the Midlands, finding and sampling the cakes from Staffordshire, Derbyshire, Cheshire, Leicestershire and Yorkshire.
Why that part of the country? Well, there are some great views, fantastic roads and it's always nice to discover a new road and new cafe.

And so we wave good bye to Summer. It was a good one; plenty of cycling on the TV, good weather, and not a total wash out. Plenty of rides and sportives to attempt. We went to the Dolomites, the Maratona and the Etape this year.

But as the sun sets we know it's time for gilets and long sleeves, and with that, Condor has marked down its summer wear.

We've reduced our Rapha clothing, too, including Country Jerseys, Gingham Shirts, Touring Shorts, caps, and Touring Gloves, with savings ranging from 15-20%.

Last night was a chance to put our new cyclo cross frame through its paces in a proper race in proper Cyclocross conditions. Up until now the grass hasn't been slippery and the mud hasn't been gloopy enough. 
Sammy and Tom took to the Herne Hill velodrome for their first ever taste of Cyclocross while Ben and Claire reacquianted themselves with the world of mud after nearly six months of tarmac.

We think summer is over? So lucky we made it out into the sunshine for a big ride. A couple of Sunday's ago we met up at the Gray's Inn Road store to head west, finding the river once or twice and ending up in the civil parish of Henley-on-Thames.
