We’ve ran out of ideas for our team bottle, sorry Bidon… We need YOU to design our 2014 Team bottle that will be lovingly used and oft discarded by the side of the road by our LDN and NYC teams during the 2014 season; it will also be sanctified by being offered for procurement on The 5th Store.
Interested? Read more for how to get involved, its all very Hartbeat

For some this is the hardest time of year to get themselves out the doors, for others its the easiest. For me its one of the most rewarding – a chance to re-affiliate yourself with why you enjoy riding; with friends, with nature, with coffee shops and without too much pressure of impending races or overly structured training.
To reward those out riding the base miles we’re offering a competition to win a winter survival pack of our iPac3 case and Ass Saver.
To enter follow us on instagram @the5thfloor
Take a picture of your winter training and tag it #5thbasemiles (should be this winter 2013/2014)
We’ll pick a winner after January 31st and post their photo on the blog.
