We’re working on a concept somewhere between a grassroots racing team, subsidizing Masters racers, and the “racing tourists” of the Rapha Continental clique.
I’m thinking maybe something like the old reliability trials from England: teams of four and they must reach a destination, consume two cups of coffee with pastries, and return, all in a pre-determined time frame and at a specified speed. We’ll have umpires at strategic locations to make sure all are following the rules and riding properly. Matching jerseys must be worn and points will be deducted for ugly or dirty bikes.
Really like those jerseys! Wool? Possibly, with matching bib, the team kit for a new Hampsten grassroots racing team?
I can’t wait to put those ultra-strong Ambrosio Nemesis wheels on my stainless steel Hampsten. The ultimate set-up for rough roads!
John,

“Caffee Racing”, anyone?

I’d love one of those jerseys for my L’Eroica entry that I’ve just made for next October. Any chance Steve?
And will you be there?
