Monday Break - Issue 128
A new week, and a fresh round of stories, updates, and news from the outdoor sports world and beyond. Let’s get into it.
“A Bordo Strada” at Paris - Roubaix
Chaos. Cobbles. Cheering. Paris-Roubaix never disappoints
For this year’s Hell of the north we brought @wiliertriestina & @miche_components straight to the heart of the action — the mythical Arenberg Forest.
We set up a high-energy cheering point in one of cycling’s most iconic battlegrounds, handing out musettes filled with caps, cheering cards, and fan-favorite goodies. Surrounded by dust, noise, and raw emotion, we created a space where the spirit of the Spring Classics came alive.
Another powerful chapter of “A Bordo Strada”, written in the famed cobbles of Roubaix.

Everything I Pack to Camp at Coachella
Festival season is officially in full swing — and there’s no place like Coachella to kick it off. Beyond the music, lights, and desert vibes, there’s one experience that can make the weekend even more unforgettable: camping. From sunrise coffees with new friends to silent disco nights under the stars, pitching a tent at Coachella isn’t just about saving money — it’s about living the full festival magic. Curious? Here’s why camping might just be the real headliner.
T100 Recap - Singapore
A spectacular setting, a stacked field, and brutal heat made this weekend’s T100 Singapore one of the toughest and most exciting stops of the season. From the battles on course to the energy in the city, it was everything we love about triathlon at the highest level.
Athletic Affair couldn’t miss the opportunity to be part of the action — especially with our new home base here in Asia.
We spent time with the legend Jan Frodeno, not only around race day, but also exploring Singapore together with local hero Ben Khoo, Ironman Singapore record holder. Sharing the city’s unique vibe, culture, and spirit made the experience even more special.
Until the next one ✌️
