Teal Buchi rolls deep. A regular Pinarello Dogma 2 isn’t enough for him. He’s gotta have custom. Check out his custom paint on his new Dogma.
This is the new Dogma Teal
The name's Teal and I like me some Dogma
This man means business
It’s finally coming around. A time when we can dress for a ride without putting on layers and layers. While it’s not quite here yet we got a little taste last Sunday. The Sunday group brought out all the usual faces including a great representation of the new Contender kits. Remember the Sunday group ride leaves the store at 10am so join in!
Go green!
Steady pace all the way out to Draper
Sheyn has a new kit and a new bike and Eric has some new wheels too.
As you may know a member of the Cycling Community was lost this week. Matt Bradley was a cyclist who participated in many forms of cycling and rode and competed very often. In honor of him the Saturday Crit had a one legged lap. Check out the footage of the first lap as well as the race to follow.
Diesel engine Jason Castor made the break of the day but had the flat tire gods deal him a heavy hand of deflation. The rest of the usual faces are in there and you may find it somewhat easy to pick out a certain gentleman with a very bright helmet. Later Stevie Wonder was quoted as saying “man that helmet is bright”
There’s thills, chills, and spills
This is what happens at RMR when you get chopped but have Ryan’s skills. Ryan’s foot goes into someone’s front wheel when the guy chops him and Ryan manages to keep it upright. Check out all the carbon ripped off the sole.
Here’s a lesson for all you kids out there. Think your bike is tough? Check out what this one goes through.
It’s come to that time of year again. The time when the flowers start to bloom and the sun warms us with it’s rays that seem to have been absent for the last few months. What does mean for cycling fans? It means losing the leg warmers and it also means Milan-San Remo. “La Primavera” traditionally starts off the spring race campaign and is the first major event of the year. Any rider who’s shooting for a strong spring wants a piece of this glory. So who’s the man for this race? A sprinter? Maybe? A climber? Rarely. An all-rounder or Rouleur? Very possible. In all depends on how the stars align. I personally think a dark horse rider is going to surprise this year. We’ll have to watch to find out.

To the victor go the spoils
Also by now you might know that the 2012 Contender Club kits have officially arrived. If you’ve gotten yours you know by now they’re sweet. If you haven’t joined up yet there’s still time and we’ve got some stock left but you better jump on it. Got the new stuff? Like it? Send me a picture of you with it on to put on the blog and start the spring right.

(by the way, I’m sure as I write this it will probably start snowing)
Kits are here! Everything looks great. My personal favorite is the long sleeve jersey. Here is a quick look at the jersey!
Huh?
The north American Handmade Bicycles show is going on and that means crazy classic titanium, steel, and in this case stainless steel. The 80′s was not lost on one particular bike maker. A few of these road bikes went for the use of stainless steel just like the Delorean from Back to the future. No word though if the maker was Huey Lewis.
1.21 jigga watts!
When this baby hits 88 miles per hour, you’re going to see some serious sh*t
For old times sake
If you look good you ride good. Sidi don’t mess around when it comes to style. You like eh? I don’t know about you but I see a size 43 in my future. By the way St. Patrick’s day in coming up. Enjoy these bad boys.
Ba-boom!
