Festive 500- Cumberland Out and Back

Having completed the Rapha Festive 500, annually since its pre-Strava inception in 2010, I knew despite my desires to shred the trails and indulge in holiday festivities’, I wasn’t going to forget about the pressures of churning out long road kilometers in inclement weather.  I’m not much for quitting.

Geoff Robson: Hard and Festive

Photo jacked from G-off's FB page.

Geoff Robson has been on an absolute tear this season:  from devastating fixed-gear hill climbs to monstrous CX races, he has been turning heads as the dark horse to watch. It seems only fitting that he would end 2012 with a bang - a 500km bang - as the first Canadian (in Canada) to finish the Rapha Festive 500.

Absolutely inspiring, Geoff!

Rapha Festive 500 - Report

In December of 2011, Team Stuckylife decided to undertake Rapha's Festive 500, an informal competition between riders worldwide to log 500km in the saddle during the last week of the year. Rather than pursue our 500km goals as individuals, members of the team rode every day (sometimes twice a day!) in the dark, in the cold, and at night, to accommodate work schedules and family life and make achieving the 500km possible for everyone.
