It's Giro d'Italia time! Nearly. And hot on the heels of our competition to win a special edition Giro saddle from Selle Italia (you can still enter that one if you're quick) is the chance to win one of a hundred Camelbak Podium bottles in Maglia Rosa pink. A hundred!
It's an excellent water bottle, the Podium: our Dave Arthur gave it four and half stars when he tested it back in March last year. And you could win one! We have a hundred to give away (we may have already mentioned that) so your odds of winning this one are slashed by two orders of magnitude. We know, we're givers.
To enter, simply lob your name and email address into the entry box below. One entry per reader, and we can only ship the prizes to UK addresses. You have until the Giro starts to get your entry in, we'll pick a winner in the first week of the race. And then 99 more! Good luck!

I had the pleasure of owning two of the featured builders here, in my history. When I joined the Army in 1971, I took with me my curly Hetchins:...
Could Siobhán paint it red and noone would notice it?
To paraphrase Field of Dreams, "Build it right and they will come: and use it!"
And a Happy Christmas to you, road.cc staff!
