Saturday Ride is cancelled due to heat this week.  

However...Next Week....
Surly Day


Our Saturday ride starts at 8 AM on Saturdays.   We leave promptly at 8 so be ready.   We have slightly morphed the schedule to be a bit easier on the first Saturday of the month.   Tough on the last Saturday.   Please have water if it is warm and we cancel the ride above 90 degrees so we can get cold coffee at a cafe instead of riding.   (LIKE THIS WEEK.   NO RIDE)

Surly Day (September 20-22) details are easy.  Group camp at Mount Pinos.  See link above.
We have some fun things in the works.  Saturday rides and unpredicting some Wednesdays.  Our bikepacking trips usually leave Tuesday afternoon and head into Wednesday trying to be back before dinner and back in time that Chris can get Rover from Eric at a decent time and have dinner.    Also, Chris isn't always well organized or good at logistics so it is often UnPredicting.     Joining us is usually best to find out what the final plans are on Monday.   And, be prepared for random changes at the last minute.

Saturday Rides in Topanga.  A fun crowd.  The first Saturday of the month is a little more relaxing, the last one more intense.

We don't want to move bikes around on rainy days or days we aren't open to work on Rogue Journeymen.     Just about everything is on sale until we thin down the herd of bikes.  All full suspension demo bikes are being sold around 40-50% off their original price.

Larkin Cycles is small run bicycle fabricator in Los Angeles. Darren Larkin makes frames for Crust Bikes and is a friend of the shop. We had him made a couple of custom frames for us and gave him free rein on the final paint design. He sent the frame to a local artist and here's the result. A truly one-of-a-kind custom frame. It also comes with a hatchet and custom sheath.

This build comes with SRAM NX Eagle components and 27.5 x 3" tires to tackle any terrain.

Special Price: $3,500, size L/XL

Hope Cyclery (below)
@hopecyclery - The dude.  @onion.sauce had the chance to catch up with Jarrod.  He and his team opened Hope Cyclery last year with a mission and a purpose.  Jarrod believes that bicycles can be transformative.  His goal for the past few years has come to fruition.  He is getting more people on bikes without it being a cash grab.  Located in Johnstown, PA, Hope Cyclery immediately immersed themselves in the community through advocacy, after school programs and a knowledge based curriculum to help open up opportunities for people that may have fallen on rough times.  They have programs for people to get rolling on bikes who may not be able to own a car and can’t get transportation to get a job and back on their feet.  We obviously love Jarrod and what he is doing.  Visit him if you are in Johnstown, Pennsylvania or anywhere near him.  This is what the solution to problems in the world look like.  Hope and action steps that works to make good changes on a small scale.  It’s how things happen for the good. ☮️ #hope #hopecyclery #makingadifferenceeveryday 
Chris headed out to ride Surly Bikes in Pennsylvania for Quality Bicycle Products Saddle Drive.   A terrific event.

Chris is looking forward to more creative work.    He started the business 20 years ago doing bike tours and not a bike shop so transforming is something he is aware of.
