SJF Presents: The First Date 2-13-10

Riding with friends, enjoying San Jose's scenery, riding your bike, all while supporting a great cause...sounds like a great time. The guys in San Jose definitely have their act together! Go ride!

SF local Tim Mar and his Cinelli Mash. A very clean build indeed!

Need a Bike Upgrade?

Here's an offering from Cinelli for 2010. Can't fathom spending so much for the Mash or Vigorelli? Here's an affordable complete! Looks pretty clean and I'm loving the black. Don't know the name or price as of yet but I'll post as soon as info is given.

Windy Weather? No problem!

Check out the new Anza Windbreaker from Chrome!

Pulled from the Chrome website:
Our water repellent, windproof jacket tucks away for when you need it, but has tons of useful details and pockets which will make it your everyday favorite.

• Lightweight, wind resistant, 100% Polyester plain weave fabric
• Teflon branded water repellent finish
• YKK coil zipper at center front
• Front waist pockets with snap closures
• Pocket at center back with mesh ‘stuff sack’ pocket bag
• Arm and torso length designed for a perfect fit on the bike
• Convertible collar for cold rides.

They retail for $80, which is definitely reasonable if you're a daily rider. Now everyone can't use the excuse that the weather is keeping them from riding!

Cracker Challenge!

Here's a picture of my boss attempting the "Cracker Challenge". The idea is to try and eat ten crackers in under a minute. It is said to be impossible, but Bicycle Garage part owner Alan Farian tried to prove otherwise. The outcome? EPIC FAIL! Alan ended up owing me $20 due to a lost bet haha. Bet your friends!

-I love Purple Profiles.

Scotty's Intro

Cycling has long been important to me. It has been around me for as long as I can remember. I've grown up riding BMX and MTB but urban cycling is a league of it's own. It has given me a lifestyle that I will be forever grateful for. For that, I have decided to give back...

Track Novel has been introduced to help strengthen the cycling community within the Bay Area. I have brought friends together to help support this idea and keep the cycling phenomena alive. Keep posted as we bring in the new year of 2010. Expect greatness...and welcome to Track Novel!

FUN with Friends!

Kicked with Scott, Amanda, Kristy and Chrtistian at Chipotle last night.

Im horrible at introductions...

Ryan is my name and I will be contributing to this blog.

2010 is going to be a great year on a bike.

Great things to come.

Stay posted for upcoming events!

Peace!
