Photo by Jordan Clark Haggard
I don’t follow a whole lot of Tumblr accounts but one in particular has been a favorite since Kyle introduced me to it last year. Jordan Clark Haggard’s photography is really great and his blog, the Blue and Red has some amazing photography from in and around Los Angeles. This photo in particular made me miss LA. Vinny’s Barber Shop, Mudfoot and that #LightBro.
Check out more from the Blue and Red!
A back to back Tracko post? This one’s worth it.
Kyle just posted this pre-order notice for his new Endo Customs-made Tracko kits up on Instagram. I don’t usually wear a kit when I ride my track bike, but I don’t care. I’m ordering one anyway. This dude is largely responsible for the popularity of track bikes and his site has been a favorite of mine, since forever (sorry Andy, yours is too!). Everything he touches turns to gold and unlike those Ramblin Rolls, there’s enough of these kits to go around.

Tracko‘s back up and running but Kyle’s still sorting out the back end. Sean Martin from TOLA‘s new LOW is tasty. Check out more of this delicious bike here.
Where are your handlebars dude?
Golden Saddle Cycler has restocked their popular, Kyler Martz-designed Righty-O shirts. Pick one up here!
It’s funny how a ten-degree drop in temperature here in Austin has me scrambling to find my winter caps again. Little reminders, brought on my cold fronts, always alert me to the fact that the rest of the US is still very much in winter. While I’d only be able to wear the SWRVE Gore-Tex Belgian Cap once and a while here in Texas, I’m sure the rest of you would love to have one of these around your ears in the morning. Made in the USA and in an array of colors, pick one up here at SWRVE.

No trip to Los Angeles is complete without at least one night ride with the Golden Saddle Cyclery guys. During my last visit, Dave, Kyle, Ty, Ace, Jeff from All City and I went out on a Griffith ride, through the hills and up to the Hollywood sign for some beverages. At that point in the trip, we were all toast, especially Jeff, who had just come off a 24 hour flu. At least he got some more photos to use for the #partybrand that is All-City…
As “hoody hooooo” echoed through the night, we rolled home along the bike path.
I love it when projects like this pop up and everyone involved are damn talented individuals. Introducing Yonder Journal, a project by Daniel Wakefield Pasley and Emiliano Granado. Without saying too much more, here’s the first installment of Yonder Journal: Brovet 01, Old Ridge Road Permanent.
“We like to think of ourselves as Cultural Anthropologists, armed with cameras and notebooks, compelled into the field to explore, document, digest and publish a lasting and meaningful record of our experiences there.
Yonder Journal will be a series of Briefs, Guides, and Studies that endeavor to understand and relate American Frontiers and Western Principles.”
“Today, we begin with our first of many Studies – Brovet. Inspired by the world of Randonneuring (long distance cycling), Brovet is a Guide book to American Permanents (predetermined routes) that aims to inspire, entertain, and inform.”
Click here to download the Official Cue Sheet and Brovet Card. Print the instructions and ride the ride using the turn-by-turn instructions therein. Complete the Brovet Card provided and send it to Yonder Journal to receive your Official Brovet Patch. More details inside. See more in the Gallery above!

For many of you, cross season is now over and for other’s, there’s maybe one or two events before Louisville. I just wanted to say congrats to all my friends who had stellar performances this year. The Mudfoot team really kicked ass in SoCal and I can only wish them the best of luck next season. Here’s to getting off on the right foot.
When cycling gets coverage in major media outlets, we’re used to see pieces on reckless riding or a death. Not this time. The LA Times has a great feature on Wolfpack Hustle up on their site and if reading ain’t you’re thing, there’s even a video. Check it out here.
