When Breadwinner Cycles chose me (!) to complete their team for the Rouge Roubaix Builders Challenge, you might say I was flabbergasted. Stoked, hell yes, but flabbergasted, none the less. What's a 47 year old geezer like me doing with these fast hot-shots? Apparently there were over 200 applicants, but they liked my answers best, (sample questions: Stage Race or 1-day classic? Pantani's skull cap or Roger De Vlaeminck's sideburns?) I received my new B-Road late last week and was able to get a couple of long rides in before boarding the plane today. Now here we are, in Baton Rouge, on the eve of a long weekend of great riding with great riders, and great builders, for the Rouge Roubaix. There'll be updates all weekend long on The Radavist, as well as Instagram. Stay tuned.
