If there is any professional road racer that absolutely loves his fans, it’s Jens Voigt. I mean, the man is wearing a Twitter shirt! @thejensie stopped and posed for every fan and smiled as they pulled out their cameras, ourselves included. Then he even stuck around and listened to our drunken banters about cycling and how important he is to the sport. Gah, hats off to this man.

Seriously. How good is that?
Brian Vernor has been asking me to come to Santa Cruz for over a year now, so when we rolled through his home town for the #ATOC, we hit him up. Initially we just wanted to grab a beer and a burger but then he muttered a word that piqued our interests: RIDE. How can you pass up a ride? Even with just an hour left of sunlight, Brian took Simon, Jeremy and me on a kick-ass ride in Santa Cruz. A lil bit of climbing, a lil bit of gravel and a lotta fun. Followed by a drink and a burger, naturally.

My absolute favorite day of the #ATOC was the Mt. Baldy stage. We woke up, rode to the first KOM and hung out all afternoon in the blazing sun. After shouting and being utter jackasses all day, we took off down the descent. What a day!
While I was shooting on the top of the Rapha Mobile Cycle Club, I passed my T4 off to Jeremy Dunn, who assisted in the KOM shots. Thanks to Jeremy for getting some of the action and thanks to everyone who made that day so rad.

My black and white film from the #ATOC is filled with some gems like the one above. Mr. Jeremy Dunn got this on my T4 while I was shooting the KOM on Baldy. Let it serve as a reminder that your Memorial Day should be spent with friends. Get out and ride.
All in a days work. Nothing’s better than ending your ride with iced water, a Topo Chico and a black as tar Handsome americano.
Roll two from my last trip to SF was kinda all over the place. Terry from Full Frame Collective gave me a roll of expired HP5 and it ended up developing quite nicely. The photos enclosed in this gallery are as you’d expect from a weekend like RideNStyle. A lotta boozin’, late night cruizin’ and sightseeing. Enjoy.

Last night, the Chrome party was shut down before it even began by over-zealous cops and the fire marshall. Not wanting to hang around while groups of cops showed up, we all left. I kept my camera around my neck as a mob of track bikes tore through the SF streets at night…

I feel like this party ruined me more than any other night in Brooklyn. The 2012 Red Hook Crit was a huge success and after the race, everyone headed over to The Bell House for the official after party. Let’s see, a bunch of hungry, dehydrated racers, good bourbon selection and a bunch of beer. It was a recipe for liver disaster. I even caught a few of the Mash dudes a little loose. Alex, you still owe me a drink!

I really dig the Full Frame Collective contingency, especially with photos like this popping up on Terry’s Flickr. Kanin needs a Balhogs Grip Strip!
