Hern’s Fuji is finally ready for the races next week at Interbike in Vegas. Last year Hern placed but didn’t win first in Mash’s race. This time he’s determined to win the $3k pot on Wednesday and the House of Commons race on Thursday.  He’s got a good chance since he’s been winning or placing all the races this summer in LA. And now he has help from some of TRAFIK’s sponsors: Thomson, Fizik, Phil Wood, and Velocity. Oh yeah, and that Knog light might help in traffic on the strip. Have a safe race and good luck to Hern, Sean, Tony Z, and all the other racers too!
