It’s Friday Friday, Better Climb Up on Friday…

Just over a week till the Masochistic Metric.  Got the riders packet in email overnight. They seem pretty serious about how many climbs there are and how steep some of them are.  Uh.. yeah, I’m sure I’ll be ready.  Got a good ride in this morning, will put in some big miles tomorrow, then taper till the event.  The prep is pretty much all over now.

 

DefCon Bike Ride Jersey Mock-up

OK. Keep in mind that this is just a mock up of what got sent to the jersey company. For the jersey company I had to do a breakdown panel by panel. They will get us a proof that doesn’t look like it was created by a 4 year old. But since there’s a lot of interest in the jersey design, I figured I’d post this in advance of the proof. This came together pretty quickly so there wasn’t a lot of time to get crazy with the graphics. That said, we’re happy with how it turned out. Maybe next year we’ll get more exotic.

We’re still sorting out cost and other details (tho you can expect it will cost less than $80). We’re selling this at cost, and hopefully offset by some sponsorships as well. These will be club fit road jerseys.  I know some folks were interested in MTB jerseys.. I’ll see if the vendor can work a deal to get some of those too.  Once we get the final proof we’ll ask everyone if they’re still interested, get sizes, etc…

Need more hours in a day

A short ride today. Did a little exploring looking for new routes in Catonsville. Bad idea during rush hour. Almost got run over a few times and hit a lot of lights. Not a very productive ride.
