Tuxedo Thunder

Damn, Chicago gets another new team! This one is called Tuxedo Thunder, and reminds me of Team Pegasus when we started out: a bunch of friends forming a team to have some fun. Best of luck to all involved. Details here.

American Flyers Hat Tip

I have a real soft spot in my heart for anything American Flyers related. The first bike shop I ever worked at was named after the film. So when I saw Tracko's post this morning showing Saxo Bank/Specialized's tribute to the 25th anniversary of the movie, I got all nostalgic. Nice job Julich! Looks sharp- I would have loved to see some more direct inspired decals and maybe some gumwalls, but the tubing decals are a great touch!



Read more about it here!

Also, I'll go ahead and take this opportunity to post a wrinkly iPhone photo of my favorite cycling related t-shirt ever:

The shop is long gone, but I should get some of these remade...

Good find Kyle!

NAHBS- SATURDAY!

Saturday night some RIchmond locals are throwing an alleycat as well. Should be a pretty sweet race. This one is being put on by RVA messengers and friends and I even heard rumors of some RPC pro racers making an alleycat debut! Definitely not one to miss!

NAHBS- FRIDAY!

To kick things off, MASH is throwing a little alleycat with some pretty sweet prizes! Starts at 8pm Friday bight outside Exhibition Hall D.

That really is a pretty great payout. Andrew- I'm looking at you for 2nd place!
