21 11 2009

THIS RIDE LOOKS AMAZING! GO SHOW YOUR BEST VINTAGE GARB!!

 

A reunion of wool, bare knees, slanted caps and facial hair – the Tweed, Moxie & Mustache Ride awaits you on Saturday, November 21st, hosted by C.I.C.L.E. Chaps and dames will enjoy this cheeky ride through the Art Deco highlights of Downtown Los Angeles.

Uniting at Union Station as the those in the 1920’s would have, we will ride in our finest garb through the oldest streets of our fine city and arrive at Royal Claytons English Pub, a gin mill of sorts, to have some whoopee and award prizes to our contest superlatives.

We’ll meet at Union Station in front of the south courtyard and conclude with an option to stay for a post-ride hooch (aka adult beverage) at Royal Claytons Pub.

This ride is the bee’s knees!

THE FUTURE OF AMERICAN CYCLING

9 10 2009

Taylor Phinney is a savage, this young man is just flat out fast, he’s a track slayer, and will race the Tour someday, i asked him when he would go pro tour steez and he said a couple more years, no rush…just enjoying the ride! The only camera I had on me was my faithful BalckBerry….he took a few events last weekend at the Home Depot Ctr Nationals and he owns a world title for something, the Kilo maybe??….I dunno, all I know is Lance took him from Garmin’s U23 squad (from what I know, sorry Taylor I don’t know specifics), he now rides with and is the head powerhouse at the Trek Livestrong camp. I hit him up on FB and i’m sending him some fresh TLFI duds, he was a super cool guy….Keep slaying em Taylor!
