Redhook #1

Redhook criterium is tonight. By now most people have heard of this wild race series which resembles traditional American criterium racing mixed with fixed gear track bikes, but what you may not have heard is that I'm firing up to race the series with Aventon Bikes factory racing team.
My last race was with Champion System / Stan's NoTubes in central China in October of 2015. Since then I've checked most the boxes of what washed up pros do once they readjust the lens with which they see the world; I moved to Southern California, got a job, moved in with my girlfriend, started surfing, spearfishing, got drunk on a few Friday nights, and started telling stories to non-cyclists about how great it was being a pro cyclist. All things considered it's been a great year and a half.
