The Lucky Cat IV had an amazing turn out! We totaled about 45-50 racers and a ton more fine folks came out and supported (aka drank beer with me). The prize table was packed from our amazing sponsors! I can’t thank you guys enough for hooking us up with so much rad gear!
On top of the sponsorship goods love, we had some craftiness with a custom banneresk quilt hand made by local supporters! Pretty rad and unique.
As the time came to smash the streets, Mr. Dustin Hoover entertained the crowds with his bicycle trickery!
Ah, the prized trophies! Unfortunately I was busy keeping everything dry when it came time to distribute the goods to the winners. A short, convenient downpour graced our presents right when it was time to announce the winners. I’m sure one of the two photographers that were in attendance will have some better shots. I’ll keep you posted as they present themselves. We also had a hand full of racers hooked up with GoPro’s! Can’t wait to see the edits from that!
This was an absolute blast to be a part of and helped build the cycling community in the BAMA area. This will most definitely be one of many events Folly will be involved in this winter/year to come. Thank you all who helped out and supported this event, I can’t say it enough! Cheers!

Dosnoventa Presentation from CREAM Bikes & Things on Vimeo.
This video only further affirms my love for Dosnoventa! So much passion, style and ultimate beauty! Not really sure how I missed this rad video from 8 months ago, but I sure didn’t overlook the tweet you just sent out Dosnoventa! Thank you for brining this to our attention. Ride x Create

To Water The Infernal Gardens from AJ Austin on Vimeo.
I LOVE getting emails from AJ because they always have the best edits attached to them! “Kinda late and nothing special” my ass. AJ killed it, and himself in this edit. Thank dude for thrashing so hard and sending vid love our way! Keep’em coming sir. Ride x Create
**Make sure to check out Milwaukee Bicycle Co. to pick up some rad bikes/gear!
I’m falling in love with this spot! The longer I sat there (after my tastey beverage) the thought hit me… this is a perfect location to set up a Cyclocross course. More to come on that later.
As always, never leave home without a trusty beer prop to hold your board or bike as you capture it in all of its beauty! You never know when inspiration is gonna hit you; therefore you should always have a brewski on hand; whether it be a can or a bottle, keep it on your person at all times.
I hope your Friday work is minimal and short lived. I hope your creative juices have been simmering in your brain bucket all week only to be released full speed ahead into whatever Ride x Create venture you dominate this weekend. Cheers! Feel free to tag us on your Instagram feed #RidexCreate so we can share in the ride x create vibes!
This is gonna be so rad! It hasn’t dropped yet but check out Wahoo Fitness for the release date.
“The Wahoo RFLKT is the world’s first iPhone powered bike computer! All the power of your iPhone in the size of a sleek cycling computer” – Wahoo
I’ve been using the Wahoo system with my iPhone 4 for a little over a year. Since upgrading to the 5, I’ve been computer and tuneless. I’ve been waiting to see how Wahoo was going to accommodate this change for the 5 and also thought… how are they going to keep their product relevant if it changes every year; people would end up overlooking the product all together.
This set up is perfect from my perspective. It gives you Bluetooth control of your iPhone that most, if not all cyclist carry on their person when off on a ride. This little gadget will allow you to utilize the Wahoo system for many years to come. With a coin cell battery life of a year, you won’t have to charge this sucker up every other week. For all of you dedicated iPhone users, I highly recommend taking a serious look at this mondo system.

Poler Napsack from Poler Outdoor Stuff on Vimeo.
This promo vid of the Poler Napsack is perfect! Enjoy
BOOYA!! So pumped and sad all at the same time. Mr. Jesse Carmody was kind enough to add this rad medium kit in with the PUMP 100% cold-brewed coffee he is supporting the Lucky Cat IV alleycat with. The sad part is, ENDO Customs cut their kits tight. I tried on the jersey and gave it a few minutes wearing it around; apparently my neck and back are too thick x wide. So, sadly, I will be sending this back to JCarmody; but not till I captured some photos for your visual pleasure.
Ultimately I would have liked to take a few shots of this being warn, but I’ll take what I can get. I really dig the clean and simple design of the jersey. For those of us that rock kits, we know that some designs can go nuts.
The mondo PUMP logo shown as being nicely tucked away in the middle pocket is perfect! It adds that little extra something the dude you crush on the road/trails will remember.
CA is so appropriately placed on the sleeve, as every ounce of the PUMP vibe as well as ENDO, are home grown in California.
The bib-shorts are super high quality! I wear a Hincapie kit normally (trying to get into something more gnarly, so bummed this is going back) and the ENDO’s chamois blows theirs out of the water.
I’m very impressed with ENDO Customs. I’ve seen a good bit of solid company’s use them, and rightfully so… they are top notch. One thing to keep in mind if you pick up an ENDO kit, they do run a bit tight. To compare, my Hincapie kit is a medium and it’s getting a bit baggy (woo to losing a few pounds). The ENDO medium kit is a bit uncomfortably snug. So, when you buy one of these, if you have the opportunity, try it on or preplan and pick up a size bigger.
If you’re asking why I don’t just exchange the medium for a large, the answer is, Mr. Carmody has sold out of the large. What I personally would like to see happen is someone locally here in BAMA pick up the kit, so I could atleast live vicariously/jealously through them. If you are in the market for a super custom kit and wear a slim fitting medium, let me know (createfolly@gmail.com).
I hope all of your Halloween’s are mondo with epic amounts of candy eatin x miles dominated. Ride x Create
