By now I’m sure everyone knows that the Annual Contender Roller Race is getting close. It’s always a good time and there’s usually a fun twist thrown in there too. To give you a taste here’s a few pictures of the Roller Race the every first year we did it.
Eddie and Graham went head to head
For some reason my high shorts never caught on
I came across this on the web. King James apparently thought there would be too much traffic to the game so what does he do? He rides his bike of course. But Jer-majesty doesn’t ride just any ordinary bike. Not when you’re 6’8, you need a custom set up from Cannondale. Maybe I can convince him to do the roller race. Hit me up on Twitter Lebron!
I think I just might need to grow a sweet beard like that
One tall bike
What's this guy's saddle height I wonder
Is it possible? Have the hipsters infiltrated Contender’s Reed and Eddie? Have their skinny jeans cut off all circulation to the brain? Wrong again. Reed and Eddie are actually an award winning duo that pack theaters all over the country. Who sees these shows? Well mostly inmates and degenerates for now but there’s been a real ground swell recently and tickets are going quick.
The fourth and fifth Beatles also known as the Reed and Eddie experience are currently on tour with their two man show. They bring a real showmanship to the stage. Don’t be fooled by the fluffy locks though, the word on the street is that there’s an extreme pyrotechnic display from those very mop tops in the encore and maybe a tiger. Don’t believe me? Just read some of the reviews.
“I don’t think this legally qualifies as theater” -Matt Simmons -Chicago Sun Times
“Half way through the show Eddie stopped to answer his cell phone” -Carrie Walsh -St. Louis Post
“It was opening night and Reed was already using an under study” -Robert Clifton -Washington Star
“It felt like I was watching an old man fall out of a wheelchair” -Brad Harris -Miami Globe
Resident God Father of Cyclo-cross Lou Rollins claimed the National Championship recently in Madison Wisconsin. This is Lou’s second national title. Lou is quite the conqueror when it comes to the dirt.
Also securing the National title in her category was Kris Walker. She pretty much ran away with many of the Utah races and she brought the goods to the big time. Congratulations to you both and thanks for representing Contender bicycles at Nationals.
Your National Champs Lou Rollins and Kris Walker
Take a walk on the wild side with Lou, Reed
You’re my boy Lou!
What a mess. What a beautiful mess.
Crossing in the snow globe
Here’s some great video of the days events
Dylan Cirulis took these shots from Saturday’s snowy adventure. After the Heber race we are in a dead on tie for the team lead. Keep it up guys we got to defend our title.
Megan Wooley is in her first year of Cross and slugging it out in the A race
A little dirt never hurt anybody
This weekend is the annual Halloween costume cross race at Wheeler Farm. Tony Church aka Cross Bot 3000 as you may know is the reigning champ. He won a new Cannondale cross frame last year for his hard wired efforts and is dusting the competition on it this year. What are you up against you ask? How can you corrupt his server? Will you submit to him a syntax error? Will you pour soda all over his keyboard? Are all these computer references too much? Find out this weekend. Check him out in full flight.
Must destroy competiion... 2nd place does not compute.
It was a great weekend for cross. Not only was the racing great but everyone was out there for a great cause.
The next race is also at Wheeler and is the annual Halloween costume cross race. As you may know we have the current Costume Champ Tony Church. Enjoy the weather while it lasts.
Dylan getting the hang of cross quite well
Trust him, he's a doctor
I woke up this morning and pulled up the Salt Lake Tribune to read the following headline, “Bicyclist arrested after caught riding with samurai sword.” I have to say my first thought was that I knew exactly who it was going to be. I just showed the headline to Reed and he guessed the same person. Well, turns out it wasn’t the person that we thought. However, it is still classic so here is the story:
Bicyclist arrested after caught riding with samurai sword
A 37-year-old Magna man has been charged after police said they caught him smuggling a large samurai sword inside his bicycle while pedaling down a city street.
A Utah Highway Patrol trooper noticed the man on July 3 riding a bike in the dark without a light near 2680 South and 8850 West in Magna and stopped him, according to the criminal complaint filed Wednesday in 3rd District Court.
A police officer searched the bicycle and found a large samurai sword inside the bicycle, the complaint shows. The complaint did not say why the man was carrying a sword nor how it was concealed inside the bicycle.
The man, a convicted felon who is prohibited from having a weapon, was arrested and charged with possession or use of a dangerous weapon by a restricted person, a third-degree felony.
