What a beautiful way to wind down the weekend, than to race amongst your close friends in Southern California’s beautiful weather. The race was one for the books. Sean Martin (TOLA) did an amazing job of organizing the event and compiling a prize pot worth racing for. There was an Aluminum Pake track frame up for grabs to go to the Lord of Griffith. Wolf Pack set the tone for hard races and seeing more difficult ones like this in Los Angeles is exactly what the bicycle community needs.

Sean Martin was the Master Mind behind this intense race. I felt obligated to race this since he participated in my Summer Games race a month back.
Thanks to this guy, the race went off with out a hitch. Amazing! 54 racers were rumored participating.

Juice kits made a debut at this race. An overwhelming feeling of pride came over me when i suited up in this kit.

The leading peloton.

Orange 20 shop rats can beat any of your shop rats. i’ll put money on that.

The real Griffith Park guru!

Hern has the most victories in Los Angeles Street racing, hands down. There is a reason he wears a Mash kit to the track. He’s earned it.

Sammy is a fucking beast. Class of 69′ Alumni. It’s always a pleasure loosing to you in the velodrome.

New Orange 20 bike club kit. The Juice in full effect. This is what lap 3 looks like.

Tracko wheeling across the finish line.

Congratulations to Bud! He is the Lord Of Griffith.

Thanks to Devon Tsuno for the pictures!

The time is upon us! It’s the film everyone has been waiting for – fucking finally! Make sure to buy your tiks online early, unless you want to camp out at the box office. Get em’ here!

Last Saturday, Hern and a few friends went down to the LA velodrome for the LAVRA Cup Omnium.  Hern entered the CAT5 Omnium and he KILLED it. It was his first CAT5 race.  After a long day, Hern took 2nd. Keep up the good work. I was the cheerleader and photographer of the day! Here’s a few photos….

One featured musical artist on To Live & Ride in L.A.’s soundtrack is DAVINCI. We were privileged to be exposed to this westcoast mc who’s bringing back the raw lyrical styles and story telling of hip hop’s golden years. TL&R cinematographer and TRAFIK collaborator Marcus Ubungen has been working with DAVINCI and SWEETBREADS for years now and they just released a new music video for a hot new track Concrete Jungle Juice off the new album (download it, its free!). And the video editor for this cut also cut the new TL&R trailer that’s soon to be releasing too! Shout out to Marcus, Ralph, Al Jieh, DaVinci, Ammbush! Great work!

Our buddies over at Chubby Boob threw a race for The LAB’s Summer Fixed Event. Two members of The Juice helped organize the race, and it went off with out a hitch. Some have coined this one of Los Angeles’ hardest Fixed gear races. Thanks to all the sponsors of the race!
