New Rapha Roller Race Cap

Rapha has a new limited edition cycling cap out, "celebrating the first stage of the International Roller Race series. Taking place on 19 April 2008 in central London, the roller race is the first of a number of roller races scheduled worldwide. 10 teams, consisting of media folk, couriers, bankers and cycling clubs, will be contending for the win in a 500 metre sprint on rollers."

I won't be buying one, because it looks almost exactly like the limited edition cap they did for the Tour de France Prologue last year, and because it's a tad expensive (though a few bob from every purchase does go to charity, so don't let the price stop you from getting one).

But Simon, I hear you ask, what is a "roller race" and what does it look like? Well, it looks like this, MFer:

Now that is a roller race.
