Golden Saddle Cyclery: Giro New Road Party Photos

Man, I am so bummed I missed the Giro New Road launch party at Golden Saddle Cyclery in LA last Thursday night. Good thing Ace was on hand to shoot photos of the happenings. Check out his full set here. The New Road line is slated for a spring 2013 launch. I can’t wait to review a few of these pieces.

STICKY: Last Chance for Highway 39 Prints

I’m closing the pre-order out on these tonight and they will be shipped out on Monday. If you would like one, now’s the time to order one. Thanks to everyone for the support. I’m not making a lot of money off this, I just wanted to fulfill the requests of readers for some of my work.

Scoop a Highway 39 print here at the PiNP Web Shop.

Sorry, still no international orders.

In Stock: Highway 39 Prints

Over the next few weeks, I’ll be offering high-resolution, professionally printed and packed photographic prints through the new PiNP Web Shop. The first in the series is entitled Highway 39. This winding road is found in the Angeles National Forest, en route to Cloud Burst off Highway 2. This was shot using Neopan 400, so expect lots of God grain.

An 11×16 print on glossy paper will run you $35 shipped in the continental USA.

Because of the delicate nature of photographic prints, I will only be shipping this batch to the USA. If you would like one internationally, please contact me for pricing.

Recent Roll: Omar the Barber and Vinny’s Barbershop

Riders: Omar the Barber and Vinny's Barbershop

I have met a lot of interesting people on the road. All through bikes. People from all walks of life, with various careers, personalities and ambitions. Sometimes those people become good friends. And that’s how Omar and I became friends. What started as a haircut, led to drinking, then more drinking, some karaoke, bad tattoos (have we even ridden yet man?) and finally, another haircut. Vinny’s Barbershop is my go-to spot for a trim when I’m in LA and it’s not just because Omar knows how to take 20+ years off with an hour-long session…

Recent Roll: LA Life

If I were forced to move anywhere in the USA tomorrow, It’d be LA. Now saying that, I have to admit, I dislike 75% of the “city” but that 25% is mighty tempting and it’s that percentage that brings me back every few months. Last month, I was actually in town for the Mishka LA opening but managed to sneak in some time on the bike, in the bar and at Golden Saddle Cyclery. Even though I was only there for a few days, I had my fill until next time…

2013 Ritte Women’s Cycle Team Sponsor Book

For 2013 Ritte is bringing something different to their line and it’s not a new bike. Their women’s team was getting tired of winning every weekend so they figured they’d make it official. Check out the 2013 Ritte women’s cycle team sponsor book above.

2012 SSCXWC Los Angeles

All I’m gonna say is, I call dibs on Kyle’s couch! See ya in LA for the SSCXWC 2012.

Recent Roll: Mt. Disappointment

I love riding in LA. Well, not so much in Los Angeles as the Angeles National Forest. It’s home to the biggest climb in the continental United States (the Crest) and the routes you can take are limitless. From Cloud Burst, to Baldy and Mt. Wilson, meandering through the mountains is where I like to be when I visit LA.

So when Kyle asked me where I wanted to go the last time I was in LA, I told him that I didn’t care. His answer: Mt. Wilson and then Mt. Disappointment. I was game, as was Christian, one of Woody, Ty and Kyle’s employees. It was his first ride ever. While he didn’t go in for the haul up to Mt. Disappointment, he stuck his way up to the top of Mt. Wilson. Our day totalled around 65 miles and over 7,200′ of climbing. It was a blast!

#GrandpasaurusRex

For those who have never seen Tracko before, I’m sorry. Tracko is no more. Now we’re stuck with Grandpasaurus Rex. I’m not so sure that’s necessarily a bad thing either. Check out a few more shots from my Recent Roll below.
