Steel Drankin

Steel drankin is the only way to do it.  At a Cyclocross race in a State park and they don’t allow good ol’ alcohol… use a stainless steel goblet of your choosing to hide your glorious adult beverage.  Going camping, now you have multiple options and uses for your dope stainless pint; coffee, beer, whiskey… they hold it all. 

All-City now has their sweet steel multi-beverage holding device ready for your purchase.  Go grab one up! 

And here you have Paul Component Engineering steel fire breath consumption goblet.

Both of these steel pints are from Klean Kanteen and will give you years of use with the All-City and Paul Comp. vibes infused within them.  One drink from these stainless steel 16oz monsters and you will ride faster/create epic creations in a single swig.  Cheers!  Ride x Create

Terrible One: Death Before Decaf

So RAD!!  Terrible One creating the next mug in their series of mugs.  I just ordered mine.  You should do the same before they’re all sold out. 

“Number 3 in the T-1 coffee mug series is now available! Use it for your daily worship of the coffee gods, or ferret it away and make a killing on a future eBay sale!” – Terrible One

I also wanted to add in the dope vid below from T-1’s main page for your viewing pleasure on this fine Wednesday.  Hope all is well Folly friends.  Ride x Create

BAMAcross: Round One

This was such a great encore to the bad ass South In Yo Mouth bike polo tournament I just came from.  I meet up with Blevins Bicycle Co. in Birmingham, BAMA to catch a close look at the first race in the BAMAcross Cyclocross series! 

Davis came out fully prepaired to dominate the field. 

As you can see here, he be gettin it!! YEEEE

Davis be clean no more.  At the start of the race there were only a few rain drops.  When it came time for Davis to race, full on downpour, I love it; and as you can see, so did Davis’ kit, bike, face, body…

So, I wish I would have had the rain gear that Matt instructed me to pick up on my way to Birmingham.  I underestimated how much rain was actually gonna hit.  Although it made for an amazing first race in the BAMAcross series, I didn’t get out into the field for better actions shots. 

Beers, brats and cyclocross made for an awesome day out in the rain.  Davis ended up getting 3rd in cat 3. I got to drink brewskis, eat good food and capture some cyclocross love; then packed up and crashed back at Folly HQ .5 BAMA.  Such a fun filled weekend.  Can’t wait for this week’s/weekend’s events.
