Wednesday Night Ride Fresh Bikes in Mosaic, Merrifield VA

[ShawnoftheDread]

Another ride in the rain sounds like fun, but I don’t think I can get clearance tonight.

27 people show up for tonight’s ride! There were 4 distinct groups. Lots of fun!

Thanks y’all! Great to see you out there.

Covet!! Where’d it come from? Been wanting to get a PFB jersey for a while now, but Primal only had pretty limited stock of the old design (which I don’t like as much) last time I checked.

Funny you should mention that – I rode a bike past Primal’s Denver headquarters alongside the Cherry Creek trail about 30 minutes ago!

Happy to see these rides catching on. Will join the group for a ride if I can ever manage to get there on time on a Wednesday. Looks like fun!

The mister and I discussed it and we are going to aim to join ya’ll next week…

I have an inside source. I do a lot of stuff for PfB and they pay me in cycling kit. I particularly like this new one. Great design work.

I did notice that the new kit is available on the PfB store through Facebook.

The young man in the white was kind enough to make sure I did not get lost. Great young rider.

Yeah, that does look really sharp. I wish more people were doing high-viz kits, though; I’ve made a promise to myself to buy no more black kit for road riding. I want to be seen on the road. (Of course my team kit is black.)

How’s the fit? It says “race cut” but is that US race cut, or Euro race cut? I find that, even if it’s all billed as race cut, I fit an XL in the US brands but need an XXL for the Euro stuff (the Italian brands, in particular). I’ve never tried on any of Primal’s stuff, so I don’t have a good idea of where their sizing is at.

Our team kit is also Primal custom; they make good stuff (and pricing is great). Primal race cut is US fit, not Euro. http://www.primalcustom.com/fitguide.html

I have XL jerseys, but should have gotten Large (was worried they wouldn’t be long enough, but XL is a little looser than it needs to be). The primal shorts/bibs are also pretty nice. The stitching does not appear to be holding up as well as PI, but they’re comfortable.

Can you ask them to sell posters of the smiley face logo? We would love it for house art, but can’t find it…

I have a HUGE 3″ round poster with a sticky back that I can donate to the cause.
