What a Shot!

As we "boys in Windbreaker blue" cruise down the road every Saturday morning, a driver or a pedestrian might wonder: "who are those guys?!"  We have, amongst our ranks,  an outstanding list of Inland Empire citizens who also happen to enjoy a wide variety of pursuits off the bike.  In one case, we have an award-winning craft brewer (Rick); in another, a master of the high seas (Chris).  

And in a few cases, we've got some pretty damn good golfers! This past weekend, our very own Craig ("Stealth", as we like to call him), managed a hole-in-one on the tricky, par-3 15th hole a Red Hill CC.  Way to go Craig!
There he is everybody, not to worry, we'll make sure
he buys a round of drinks on our next bike outing!
Great shot Craig!

Racin' with the "Heads of State"

May 10, 2018.  Windbreaker Central is a abuzz with reports coming from two recent races and the outstanding individual and team efforts of two of "our own", Griffin and Cullen Easter.  Fresh off two top-twenty finishes in the general classification at the Tour of the Gila in New Mexico, this past weekend the lads completed two equally impressive finishes at the Redlands Bicycle Classic.

Cullen, having carried the red jersey as top overall climber for most of the 5-stage race, defended most admirably to the end, finishing 3rd in the KOM red jersey competition.  And Griffin rode like a monster on the final day, surviving an early crash which damaged his bike, finishing 2nd in the final stage Sunset Road Race and 6th overall in the general classification.  You can view a full race recap and follow the team's efforts throughout the year at www.303project.com
Congrats Easter Lads - Ride On!
