MFS + GIRO D’ITALIA 2013
So here’s the thing with sports photography for me - pro cycling, in particular. There’s the “default” or “stock” images that you expect to see throughout bike races, and then there’s Manual for Speed. MFS continues to be successful with showing the viewers and fans the parts and people of the race that we don’t necessarily expect, yet can learn to appreciate, and I love them for that.
I saw James briefly a few weeks back wearing this coat, and had no idea who/what created such a piece. Luckily, he explains it to us in detail and wears it well here.
Rapha teamed up with Raeburn to create a new city riding jacket made from repurposed milatary parachutes which have been deconstructed and reconstructed integrating the original seams. I have been living in this jacket on and off the bike for weeks and can’t recommend it enough. It’s Weird enough to make people look twice, but technical enough to ensure it does it’s intended job. They will go on sale on Friday and they won’t last long. There are only 300 of each color and less than 1,000 worldwide.

WEDNESDAY IS HILL DAY
Earlier this week, we took the back roads to Nyack for the first time in a few months. Phil had a great day and destroyed all the big climbs of the day, not to mention pulling us the entire way home on 9W.
Holy crap this Allez is bangin. Happy Friday.

SOLO MISSION: BEAR AND BACK
Note to self: 100+ mile rides are highly more enjoyable in good company. Longest solo ride to date. Won’t do that again for a while.
TYLER’S CLEAN CAAD
My buddy Tyler recently blasted and polished his fairly new CAAD 10, and made it look cleaner that it already was to begin with. I’m a fan.
