I do drive truck...

I FINALLY got some rides in this weekend, just in time for the 90°+ degree days. Sunday I closed the shop early as there was a dearth of action in this town. Coleman & I got out for nearly 3 hours. Started from the shop, headed south on Bryant. In the distance I saw a large inflatable castle –one of those Moonwalk things for kids– in someone's yard. Could it be? Yes, it could . Bootsy Collins holding a 4th birthday party for his boy William Thomas. He offered cold PBR's; how could we resist? A great way to start a ride! Beers slammed, bid the Collins' adieu, we rode down the Parkway, over to St. P on the Lilydale/Hwy 13 route (saw Jim from The Modern Cafe), back up the River Road on StP-side, over Lake Street Bridge, back down River Road Mpls-side, to the backyard tavern at 42nd & Wentworth. It was hot, but I surprisingly didn't bonk. Nice.Monday, another hotter than hell forecast. Brauer was a no-show (Bleriot?) so the Wrexican and I rode out to Watertown on the Luce...

ALL PHOTOS KELLY MACWILLIAMS PHOTOGRAPHYas you can see, I took the Maglia Rosa at yesterday's StrongArm Marketing Bike Swap. Some unlucky chick got her head lopped off due the velocity of my bicycle. Lots of hangovers & bruises reported this morning from the peloton. Kelly Mac cracked a rib, too. Flameburger reportedly got "clothes-lined" on the ride home. More pics soon...Here they are:Girl, you'll be a woman, soon...Flameburger, Parts Washer, & Deep check Lucky's ride, yo!Zitox heading for the pave!

 

Bleriot? or Blurry-OH! Spot Brand + Coor's Beer, BianchiUSA

No pictorial evidence to back this up, but if you were thinking of getting one of those 650b wheeled bikes that Rivendell is touting these days, I'd steer clear of the Wednesday Night Ride with it. Or at least don't let Brauer Power ride it...In other nooze:Spot Brand is no longer Canadian. The once proud Maple Leaf single speed manufacturer has been sold to a group including former RockShox/Maverick goon Frank Scurlock, and former DirtRag cover leg model Christina Begy. Spot is now moving to the home of Coor's Beer, Golden, Colorado.Our favorite product manager, Sky Yaeger, is no longer with Bianchi USA. Sources tell us that she has quit. Actual words from Sky: "You can definitely say I quit, outta here June 16. The reason is that I want to spend LESS time with my family, learn how to tattoo cats and finally pursue a life-long dream of being a masters triathlete, with the specific goal of finishing in the top percentile of my age-group." I say, Bravo! Just remember kids,...
