BURRO BAGS X EYES WIDE AWAKE: Ace High T-Shirt

Fall is upon us. I rode in knickers and a fannel this morning. I love it. While I do enjoy "Suns out, guns out", it feels great to start wearing sleeves again. All cozy and warm when you ride. Burro Bags has a great long sleeve out for these chilly days.

Details:
Burro teamed up with Jacksonville designer Chad Landenberger aka Eyes Wide Awake for this series of t-shirts. All three face cards and the Ace of Spades are represented in this series with a cycling twist added to the design.

Swoop here!

Chubby Boob: Nerd Brew release party at the Boobery

Saturday was a mess. Pranks gone wrong, Slashed tires, a not B&E, LAPD serving justice, tons of friends and fun. These are the calm before storm photos...





Sorry about that Greg...

There was CB beer too!

Keep up with everything Nerd related at CB.

Today is the day for one of these...

It's raining in LA! Yay! I love it when it rains here. Makes riding so much more fun. Just keep the rubberside down, watch for the morons who can't drive in the rain (seems to be an issue here in LA) and get a rear fender at the very least! Soggy butt sucks.

I would stop by either of these shops...

Engine No. 11: New Product

Last Friday, I went and visited Kevin at Engine No. 11. He has a few new products and took some snaps of them. Bags, shorts and Jeans. Kevin is a hustler and you guys should support his game. From sponsoring up and comers to getting some big names to work with him (more on that later), I expect Kevin to blow up real soon. Support your supporters, Save the Track bike!

Kevin designed this bag with the rider in mind. Cool little details all over the place. It's a rolltop, has a laptop pocket sleeve on the inside. Has a front zipper compartment for important papers, and if need be a skateboard can be straped to the side of the bag perfectly.


Side compartment for all of tool needs or whatever else you can fit inside.

A whistle! What? Cool!

Has a red light built into the bag. Love it. Three different types of blinks. Keeps you visible.

USB chargeable. No batteries.

Side access to your bag. This is my favorite.

Jeans! Waxed denim... Yum.

Shorts!

Go visit Kevin at Engine No 11.

Outlier: Autumnweight 60/30 Chino

Outlier drops some new new for autumn. From the bike to the office. I might need these in my life.

Details:
A superior chino, now done up in an Autumnweight version. Simple, incredibly comfortable and well suited for the rain, grit and motion of real life. Soft yet dense and substantive while blessed with a four way stretch for true freedom of movement.

Cadence: Kits back in stock

Cadance has them yung kits back in stock. Swoop.

NorCal Cyclocross Art Event Recap - @raphacycleclub

This past Friday I got a chance to swing by the Rapha Cycle Club for their Cyclocross art exhibit. It was a packed house filled with good beer, fresh authentic Belgian Waffles provided by So Good, and people who love cycling.


art show curator Brian Vernor and Rapha's Emily Haddad a bit before the flurry of people hit the shop.

It was pretty awesome to see a fellow angeleno working at rapha. He made the move up north as well.

Another nice surprise was to meet Matthew Falk and his Vanilla Speedvagon. He mentioned the purchase process was pretty exciting and stressful. The exciting: Fly up to get sized and ride with Sasha white. The Stressful: When it came to pick the color, he chose the mystery color then had to wait 6months to see it. The best quote was " I was trying to convince myself that if it shows up and im not 100% happy, I need to learn to love it." Kinda like an arranged marriage yeah? He Also joked that in the fine print when you sign up for one, they have a clause to expect this attention. Ha! Well I'd say the Mystery color they chose is pretty damn sweet.

Matthew Falk

He was kind enough to let me snap a few shots of him and his Bicycle.
Given that it was so crowded I couldn't get a full body shot, hate me.
