Won’t be riding today, will be out of town. Weather should be great though, dry and warm enough. Hope everyone has a great ride!

The first stage of The Vintage Grand Tour (TVGT) was a resounding success. Nice turnout on a beautiful Spring day in Pasadena. The leader has yet to be determined. Now on to Stage 2 after some much needed rest days (tongue firmly placed in cheek).

It is that time of the month.... Who is coming on Sunday for Velo Retro? Last month was pretty lean, I suspect this month will be too due to the long weekend and the heat.

Hope to see you guys tomorrow.

And a word of caution, stay away from the Condor.....
