Riding with Team Velocity

This Saturday I did something different.  Michael, Kevin and I decided to ride down to Fullerton and meet up with Team Velocity.

The air was hot, and humid.  The ride was fast. I had a great time. 

Glendora Mountain Road - FIXED

I rode up GMR to the top of Monroe a few days ago.  The air was hot but manageable and much of the road was blanketed in shade leading up to the first saddle.  I rode later in the day, after work actually, and GMR was quiet.

There were enough clouds in the air to contrast nicely with the blue sky and this made for great panoramic photos. Of course I forgot my camera and had to take pictures with my cell phone.  Its always difficult taking pictures with the cell phone.  I wish cell phone manufacturers made a phone with a excellent camera.

Have a great weekend off riding.

Killer Cramps

Yeah, sometimes hey come on fast and painful. Poor guy.

Après 6 mois de réflexion, 1 mois de shape, un orage la veille au soir qui a trempé la piste d'élan et la réception, et qui nous a forcé à redescendre en urgence sur Annecy on y est arrivé.

Il y a tellement de variables dans la préparation d'un tel saut que 2h avant on avait encore beaucoup de doutes sur sa réalisation.

Il ne devait pas y avoir de moto, n'y de voitures devant la réception, les coureurs devaient également être a une distance minimum... On voulait prendre aucun risque. Sans oublier de rester discret...

Un grand grand merci à tout les amis qui nous ont rejoint pour l'organisation et la sécurité, mais surtout à Kevin Demolis, Alexis Bosson, Killian Bron et Quentin Jaud.

Yep, its coming, Southern California Cross.

GMR to Mt Baldy

With a little sleep and bit of soreness in the legs (Salsa dancing @ the Coco Palm), I got my self up at 5 am to start to prepare for an early moring ride to Mt Baldy.

Saturday's ride included Michael, John P, Gary F and Kevin H.  Saturday's ride was a special occasion!  This would be BOTH Gary and Kevin's first accent to Mt Baldy.

They both did great and rode strong despite the heat. 

POLER Stuff on Sale - Better Act Fast

I was pleased when I received and email from Poler the other day.  20% off until Monday!  They have awesome great quality stuff for sale.  Check em out.

I was equally excited but then bummed out when I saw they had the Stumptown x Poler Camp Coffee kit.  I've been using an Aero Press since April and I love it.  The Aero Press changed me, changed the way I drink coffee and I have a much better appreciation for a good brew of coffee.  I would say, I've become a bit of a coffee snob because of my Aero Press.

The Stumptown x Poler Camp Coffee kit would make a great gift for anyone who drinks coffee.  So naturally, I was bummed to see it sold out so fast.

San Antonio, Texas

Spent a few days in San Antonio, Texas this week.  It was hot and humid but I had a blast.  I was surprised at the amount of bikes and bicyclist out during the day.  The fixie culture is strong in San Antonio.

One night I walked over to the Alamo.  It was an amazing building.
