That’s Hot!
by Rob Blue on March 13th, 2007
The new team kits have arrived and they look awesome. The pictures really don’t do them justice, they look even better in person. Sunday’s ride was a hill climbing fest from the Las Virgenes trailhead up to the Alberson fireroad overlooking Simi Valley and back. All in all, it is not a lot of miles coming in at around 18 or so, but there is about 4000 feet of climbing and today it was HOT!
The temperatures were easily in the 90’s and earlier in the week it barely broke into the 60’s. That’s not easy to adapt to. I find it takes me a good 2 weeks of riding in the typically super hot western SF/Canejo Valley summer to feel like I’ve got any legs or lungs.
Lets Just Say…

Lets just pretend that I did race in the race I told you about in my last blog. Since we are all pretending lets pretend that I am in much better shape than I really am. Let’s say that my lung capacity holds hugh amounts of oxygen and that my quads are the size of tree trunks and lets make the trees Redwoods. Oh, and since we are in a perfect world, then I would come in
NorCal Racers Take 2nd & 4th
by Bryan on March 10th, 2007
Evomo Sponsored rider David Lowe sent us this race report from Northern California (aka: NorCal).
The course was pretty flat and had maybe only 600ft of climbing. At the start it was on a road going up hill. A group of 7 or so of us broke away at the start of the single track. I was in the back getting a good draft off of everyone. It was sandy, flat, boring, all the climbs were less that 30secs, no technical at all - meaning there was no rocks or ruts to navigate.
This was probably one of the hardest races for me. I’m better off

Single Guy with Single Speed
by Left Leg Greg on March 10th, 2007
I know it has been a while since you last heard from me. I’m sorry about that my schedule has been real busy. Between drinking eating and lots of sex I have really had no time to my self to sit and write my blog. Just to clarify by sex I mean wacking off and lots of it. It’s really a good thing that I own a computer and can type because rite now I’m not sure I could write with a pencil. But in between all of these activities I still have found some time to ride.
I do love my single speed and though it has absolutely no suspension front or rear and it does make for a hard ride. What makes it really challenging is that I can not change gears no matter hard I try. I have ridden the bike for the past two weeks and my ribs are killing me from that nasty little spill a while ago that I thought was going to kill me. I must say that the single speed or as I call it the SS is a great bike and if anyone wants to really get in shape buy a cheap one or better yet a cheap used one from some moron who thought
