Hopefully you didn’t miss today…Today was soooo exciting!! First off there was an ambulance that swung around Rio Salado and onto the bridge right about when we were going over the bridge. In the middle of the bridge there was a firetruck, police and another ambulance. We caught a glimpse of a naked guy face down on the ground in cuffs as we rode by. lol Then on when going down Oak heading out there was a nice big landscaping trailer going fast but not fast enough to get behind. Justin grabbed on and got away but then hit the light on Thomas. There was a Ben-Horin sighting sporting a nice bug catcher. Joe DeMars was finally denied on taking all the hills on hill 3, which was a huge relief to us all!! He still killed us on hill 5.
There was a fast breakaway that started right off the get go when coming back. Chuck and his daughter Lily were on the tandem going mach 5 along with two other riders when a little SUV going mach 5 tried to go around the roundabout at the same time as they were. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a tandem slow down so fast, defied the laws of physics….really. No one got hurt, no one went down, just the evil eye from the driver.
On the sprint Aaron and Durrant were out front just far enough to get behind a huge truck. Aaron’s yelling for Durrant to catch it took all of his energy and Durrant caught it and went around to take the sprint. No chairs and tables outside at Starbucks, employee took the keys home. We sat inside at the big table for once. Hoss made the shot indoors!!!

New Kits out this morning!! Looked frickin awesome as we all rode out today. Brian from V7 was out taking photo’s of the new kits. Can we say that the paparizzi where after us in our new kits??? A group of about 8 broke away on the way back and Justin cleaned our clocks on the sprint.

It’s always a great ride when you win a hill or the sprint! Then it truly is a happy Friday. Word of the day sentence: Mike BH has a misology that makes him break away much too early south on 56th st. It was sooo warm up on the hills, yet still friggin cold going up 56th. Hoss was sporting a new fisheye lens on his camera phone. But that had no effect on his shot that he missed over, and over… Good to see Gabe killin it again, and on his mtb to road bike conversion. He must go through bikes like crazy.

Fun Ride, Late post. Chuck broke away on Oak and left us all in the dust! It’s starting to get cooler… can’t really call it cold yet. A lot of arm and knee warmers out. There was a weird heat pocket as we got up on the hills.
