Cyclope x Veja – Fixed-Gear Sneakers

Made especially for fixed-gear cycling, French companies Cyclope and Veja have teamed up to present us with this exclusive fair trade sneaker. Featuring the use of ecological materials, like vegetable-tanned leather and Wild Amazonian rubber, the 25mm sole makes the shoe build for some serious riding. With two colorways of Black/Blue/Turquoise and Black/Red/Cormin set to release early next year, the collaboration model is limited to a release of 384 pairs, so you better keep your eyes open for more information as it becomes available.

TONY Z's 2nd Annual San Diego Ride Nov.29, 2009

Anybody wanna ride to San Diego with TONY Z? Grrreat!! Here are the details.

When- Sunday November 29, 2009 (3 days after thanksgiving)
Time- Meet at 7:45 Leave at 8 a.m. Union Station (Downtown LA) In front of the main entrance. Near the benches.
Pace- I want the group to average between 17-24 mph. With an emphasis on an easy pace the first hour or two.
Stops- About 3-4 stops for food and drinks. Long Beach, Dana Point, and Oceanside. More stops if we have to.
Distance- 108 miles (give or take a few)
Terrain- Mostly flat with rollers in Laguna Beach and Dana Point.
Return- We will take the Amtrak Train from Solana Beach at 4:35 p.m. Due to arrive at Union Station at 6:45 p.m.
Note: I have requested a "group travel request" from Amtrak. Meaning that we pay less than the $33.00 regular fee and we get our own train. A representative will call me in a few days with more details on ticket price.
Riders needed- Amtrak requires a minimum of 20 riders to be considered a "group"
To Bring- Money, 4 energy bars, 6 gels (1 per hour) a pump or co2 cartridges, 2 tubes, tire levers, Drivers License or California I.D. (Very Important) you will need this to ride thru Camp Pendleton
Tires and Tubes- Ride with puncture resistant tires like:
-Specialized Armadillo
-Continental Gatorskins
-Bontrager Hard Case
and if possible use a "thick" thorn resistant tube or even "slime" tubes.
Training- Please be well prepared for this long ride. Last year 3 riders cramped at the half way point and had to go
home. Here is a rough training schedule that I put together so you can be ready. Remember it's about
endurance, not speed.
