Tri County Shakedown: Think team time trial on open roads of varying surfaces. Think glory. Think personal challenge.

Think bikes. Think beer. Stop thinking now. I got reports that the Scott Tucker Scott Spring Classic was big fun, so this could be the event for you!



Justin Starks at Chainwheel asked me to help spread the word on this June 9 event. Here's the lowdown from the Facebook page:
