The Washing-machine Post and Ardbeg cycling jerseys

Mike Smith said:

From time to time a read a blog-type site called the "Washing Machine
Post". This is written by a cyclist who lives on Islay. The title is a
reference to Graeme Obree's bike.

A recent issue of the Post mentioned that the Ardbeg distillery had a
batch of cycling jerseys on sale. I took a look and ordered one.

It arrived this morning! Yaay!

The jerseys can be seen here -

The Post also has a review of a fixed-wheel bike called the Ibis
Single-malt - see here:

Mike

I like that jersey, nice celtic markings, Mrs MSeries will approve, her
being Oirish like.

Please stop talking about fixers though. Being practical I couldn't use
one round here, I am not strong enough in the t'hills and can't pedal
fast enough for the downhills, but I WANT ONE

Actually I think that's a free-wheeling single speed rather than a
fixed. A fixed wheel off-roader would be really hairy.

That would suit me better actually, you are probably right, my mistake.

My mistake, I should have read more carefully. When I saw it was a
single my first thought was "fixer"!

The jerseys look good though - quite elegant in a way that most cycling
jerseys aren't.

I've put one on my birthday list for the summer.

You should check with the distillery, but I think they might be a
one-off batch.
They aren't listed in the distillery shop on the website.

Oh come on Martin, if I can get my fat gut around on mine you can manage.
