What do the winners get? Let’s see what I have laying around…
First prize: Rapha Rain Jacket. I could be bias, but this is the best rain jacket I’ve ever owned.
Second prize: Rapha Shaving Cream. Don’t get it mixed up with the Embrocation. You won’t make that mistake twice.
Third prize: Rapha Le Tour Album. Who knew the French could write such good music?
Prizes for correct answers will be drawn randomly from a spreadsheet on Friday at 4pm AEST and announced in the comments. Please leave your email address in the comment login form so I can get in touch with you directly. I’m sorry, but Australia and NZ residents only.
