Thursday Night Group Ride
Last night's group ride turned out roughly 15 people, trails were super fast with puddles to splash through, 3 paragons, 2 rigs, Adam's Waltworks, Bianchi Cross concept, making this one of the twentyninest group rides we have had yet!
A bunch of d00dz rode demo bikes which Sam brought for everyone in his van, The Gypsy, named after Mr. Paris-Roubaix Himself, Roger De Vlaeminck. Sam upped Roger's 4 Paris Roubaix victories by putting FIVE BICYCLES!!! in his van.
This was quickly shown up by a woman driving a van into the parking lot with, I crap you not, a horse in the back! Leland has a photo on his phone, soon to be uploaded.
Ya, the horse came.
*head shake*

Ride with Mayor Luke Ravenstahl on the new lane!
Join Bike Pittsburgh on Monday, June 18 at 11:00 AM for a kickoff and celebratory ride along the new bike lane and shared lane markings with the Mayor of Pittsburgh, Luke Ravenstahl. We will be meeting at the parklet at Baum Blvd and Liberty Ave at 10:45 AM for a press event and speech by the Mayor. PLEASE RSVP TO info@bike-pgh.org if you plan on riding along. An RSVP is not necessary to ride, we just need to get a rough estimate on how many folks to expect. Don’t forget your helmet!
The ride will end at the Church Brew Works. Although we are not footing the bill, join us for lunch afterwards at one of Pittsburgh’s best restaurants. Pierogie Pizza!!

Porkers
Jeff "Sammy Haggar" "Red Rocker" Wuertherle came in to the shop today to inform me about some new things going on with Pittsburgh Off Road Cyclists, aka Porc.
Porc is offering a beginner mtb ride in south park at the same time as our Mountain bike ride with Sam Friggin' Kaufman. So in south park, every thursday at 6:00pm there are 2 seperate rides leaving. New to the sport of mountain biking? Check out the beginner ride! It will be at a comfortable pace with no one left behind. Sam's group ride will also not leave anyone behind, however, if you want to hammer, i suggest riding with these guys. Last week, our boy, Jimmy ruffing was putting the hurt on everyone. This week is probably the same.
Trail Conditions from 3:00 pm today : South Park
Tacky, low spots with mud and slick logs and roots.

Rainy Day Bike Shop Poll
Sam and I hold down the fort as Jeffy and Dave Friedman AKA Butters work on their bikes off the clock. As we dust mop, air up tires, and talk about shit we want to buy, Nature called. As I strode gallantly towards the chair, I thought, "Hey, a tire poll would make a good blog post". So here are the Friday staff of TRM's TIRE PICKS!
FAVORITE TIRE POLL!!!!!!!
Friedman: Friedman likes the Maxxis Holy Rollers for BMX. Dave states, "Accept no substitutes".
Jeffers: Jeffers enjoys the Michelin transworlds, he is rocking the 32c version and claims that "there is minimal water splashback". He and I are both fond of the Reflective sidewall.
Soupie: I like the Vittoria Zaffiro 23c wire bead. This is the pabst blue ribbon of tires. The cheapest I will ride, but still palatable. I like to commute on 23c's, this is my tire.
Sam: Sam likes the Vredrstein Tri Comps, the original. "Some of the Stickyest, Gripiest, high pressure tires out there, Super sticky! Super Sticky!" This is Sam Kaufman's most winningest tire.
Uhh....Yeah.

Maglia Rosa
So Di Luca may be in the Maglia rosa, but aparently TRM is too, not only do we have a super swanky Bianchi Wool Maglia Rosa Jersey in stock but if you drive by you will notice that the outside of TRM is donning the Pink Jersey. WASSSSUP!
Well, I am not 100% sure that the entire store will be pink, but there are a couple of d00ds outside (presumably painters) who are painting trim and ledges pink.
Pretty in Pink
