The team has been on a striking amount of both road and dirt in the past few months given the non-winter we seem to be in the midst of. Strava probably had to buy more data storage space just to keep tabs on the team.
Nathalie and I have just returned from a week long getaway in Gainesville, FL where we indulged in MTB Fantasy Camp 2012. We were able to get some long days in the hot weather, which even as mild as it's bee
n around Philly lately, 80+ degrees is no joke and can leave you pretty light headed after 4 hours or so. Thanks to the shop for becoming an Osprey Packs dealer just in time.As a self respecting, lycra wearing cyclist, it's not easy to strap a water backpack on aesthetically. Like a straight edge kid holding onto a bong, it can be uncomfortable and all that water sloshing around can be a bad spill. The packs from Osprey are awesome though, given that they're easy on the eyes in colors and have nice profiles complimentary to minimal dress. They were a must for a couple of snowbirds like us for sure.
We love Melitta coffee, but this is magic for a cup or two of pour over.With all the quality time the team has been putting in on the MTB's, I can't help but get excited to do more racing of that sort this year.
It seems that excitement is everywhere right now as all the roadie sightings on the trail indicate. You can surmise they're roadies because they point out sticks and roots on the trail to the people riding behind them.
Also, let's put in a good word for all the rad sportives popping up in the area. The PCS folks are hosting the Bucks county/ Lambertville rides again this year. These super fun kermesse-style rides traverse pavement and gravel over hill and dale along the Delaware river starting with the Hell of Hunterdon. Ride fast and try to punish yourself and all others around you, or have a nice time and enjoy the ride and company, everyone gets beer in the end. Isn't that what really matters?
