New Paltz, NY

I was invited on the annual High Gear Cyclery New Paltz, NY shop ride today. Got into town early and found a parking spot. Then hit the road enroute to the Gunks to meet up with everyone.

Early morning shadow. 10 more weeks of winter?? haha

Lead a small group back into town. Somehow pulled off this great photo while leading the paceline.



More details to come....

MASH SF

Received a phone call mid-morning on Sunday from Matt. "Hey, want to head down to NYC to check out the MASH premier?". Hmm.. "Sure". 45mins later my track bike and I are in the car heading down to Matt's so we can cruise down to New Haven, join Drew and catch the 1pm train. Nothing like spending an afternoon riding through the streets of Manhattan on a fixed gear and then ending the day with a long-awaited premier of the San Francisco track bike DVD titled "MASH SF".

While on the train I figured out how rig my helmet cam onto my helmet (video to come shortly). A short 2hr train ride later and we're in Grand Central. First order of business was some food. We found that somewhere in the 'village. Next up was Brooklyn Banks to catch the end of the alleycat and watch a track bike stunt competition.

This guy was killing it aboard the latest Brooklyn Machine Works 'gangsta' track bike.

One-Handed Wheelie up the banks


This one is mid-540.

Afterwards we checked out the DVD premier for MASH SF. Here's a teaser trailer:



Here are my photos.
