Let me just preface this post by saying I wish I could show you more photos from the Giro New Road photo shoot. Even getting clearance for posting up these took a little bit of eye-batting and begging. But man, am I ever glad I got to share them.
Day 03 began as Ty, Jordan and I took off for the hills adjacent to our ranch. Super steep gravel climbs and windy singletrack was no challenge for Ty and Jordan as the sunlight broke through the trees. They just flowed through the rocky gravel as videographers and photographers tried to capture the essence of New Road. Later on, the afternoon was spent out on HWY 1 at the mouth of the Navarro River. Climbing up and down the hills, before grabbing lunch, and finally dinner.
Some of the photos shown here give you an idea of what Giro is going for in the New Road. But keep in mind, the details that make this line different from any other will be under wraps for now. Till then, enjoy these photos and don’t miss Ty’s crossie wall ride sequence!
All of my long sleeve dress shirts are Taylor Stitch and we all know that Mission Workshop makes superior bags. So when these two get together, you know it’ll be good. Here’s the low down on the Dearborn Overshirt:
“The Dearborn Overshirt was the result of a summer project between Mission Workshop and Taylor Stitch. Taylor Stitch is an independent shirt maker, creating new styles of small batch shirts. The Dearborn shirt is the first effort of combining the best aspects of both companies.
Taylor Stitch constructed the garment in San Francisco using traditional and time-proven techniques building a shirt that will hold up under daily abuse with a fit made to cover base layers without being overly bulky.
From Mission Workshop, the Dearborn inherited technical aspects such as 3X Dry® which repels water and stains and aides in wicking off moisture from the skin. It is built from Scoeller’s Turkish cotton with added stretch. The S-spring snaps and underarm eyelets are imported from Germany. And as small detail, the chest pocket is ported for your media.”
Pick one up here. So stoked on this!
This afternoon, Rapha is throwing a happy hour to celebrate their new display at Mellow Johnny’s here in Austin. Come see their product line up, from City Riding to Pro bibs and jerseys.
Time: 6-7pm
Location: Mellow Johnny’s Bike Shop
Address: 400 Nueces St. Austin, TX 78701
If you can’t make it out, I shot some photos of the display today. Click on the above photo to launch the gallery, or here to open in a new tab.
Much of the content on this blog concentrates on craftsmen, or companies who strive for excellence through local fabrication and material sourcing. It’s not an easy feat, especially with the economic fluctuations but a few brands have maintained a strong Domestic presence. Danner is one of those companies. While a few models are made overseas, Danner’s maintained construction in the USA on many of their models, including military-issued boots, their new Stumptown line and various other hiking boots.
When I made plans to visit Portland, there were a few non-cycling brands I wanted to visit. Mostly to see how a product that we all use is made. Touring the Danner facilities really breaks that process down, from hide to hiking boot. See so for yourself below!

Before it was hip to wear work boots to the local coffee shop or bar, Danner was making boots in Portland for loggers and contractors. Since 1932, their Made in the USA boot line is ever-expanding. The new Stumptown line mixes a bit of style in with their rugged aesthetic. I got to tour the Danner facilities the other day and it was absolutely insane to see footwear go from a hide to the final product.
I’m way behind on processing photos and developing film, so expect an update shortly.
Levi’s continues to promote their Commuter series well into the summer. I love the anti-dooring clip.
