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 and retired American professional racer Chris Horner greet at the Stage 5 start


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!

Tour de Palm Springs 2018

February 11, 2018.  Some of the Windbreaker crew have returned from a day on the bike participating in the 2018 edition of the Tour de Palm Springs www.tourdepalmsprings.com  
East on Dillon Road


Following an early morning start from Silver Bullets brother's house just off the route start in Downtown Palm Springs, the lads fought the early morning winds north to Dillon Road, then east (tailwinds baby!) through Desert Hot Springs and Sky Valley to Indio; then through the Coachella Valley, La Quinta, Palm Desert,  Rancho Mirage and Cathedral City, before the finish in Downtown Palm Springs.  
At the finish in Downtown Palm Springs


Following 102 spirited miles, it was back to Mike's brothers house for beers, barbecued hamburgers and hot dogs, salads, and Fat Boy ice cream sandwiches for dessert!  

An extra special thanks to the Severin family for their warmth and hospitality taking in and feeding a bunch of road-weary Windbreaker cyclists - RIDE ON!
