We have built the flyer for the 2O'Clock Scramble. The race/ride
will take place on Sunday November 15th. The event will feed the
needy for Thanksgiving through
Grace Resources using your donation of $5 or $5 worth of canned
goods. This event will also be a Memorial for
Rod Armas and the $20 entry fee
donation will go into the Christian Armas College Fund. Every cent
of your $25 total donation goes to something totally positive! We
will have a post race pot luck BBQ at 2:00pm so be sure to bring
food or drink for 1-2 people and invite friends and family!
This race/ride is designed for EVERYONE who rides a bike. The
distance you ride is entirely up to you. Knowing the streets
of the Antelope Valley will be a huge benefit but not necessary. You
will need to bring a bike, helmet, water, a snack for during the
ride, & a tool kit and tube incase of unexpected mechanical or flat.
If you do not bring a tube and tool kit then you will need a cell
phone and someone you can count on to pick you up. Being a
responsible cyclist is important!

CYCOLOGY - The
Lancaster Ride
Click here for pictures.
Wednesday night was the most fun ever! Other than 3 different flats
everything else was perfect. Super light breeze, perfect temperature
and a huge group of 84 riders. We decided to hit the Fairgrounds as
it was opening the following morning. Sure enough the gates were
open for vendors to set up and we got to do a lap inside! Then it
was off to the Harley shop for our Hog Wild Miss and Out Crit, which
Shilo won women's (again) and Mikie Dougs won men's! |

72 riders left the park - 76 returned. This past week was perfect
weather for a roll through the eastside neighborhoods. A drag race
down Yucca Ave put Shilo back in the women's jersey and Bryce got
his first jersey by winning the men's race. very few photos this
week due to dead camera batteries. Everyone keeps bringing their
friends out with them and the ride keeps getting better!!! |

CYCOLOGY - The Lancaster Ride
Click here for pictures.
This past Wednesday Night was by far our best ride yet. 72 riders, a
King of the Mountains Challenge, a loop at the Mall, a men's and
women's crit race, 25 miles and two and a half hours of ride time
all put into a star studded ride. Supercross legend Kyle Lewis, Gary
Laurent (who is doing the Hoffman Shows at Magic Mountain) and even
riders from the
Wolfpack
Hustle in LA are hearing about the ride and making the journey.
With as big as the group has become we have depended on Drew, Omar
and Manny to "cork" intersections and get our massive group to
pass through safely. It looks like we are just weeks away from
hitting 100 riders. Been an amazing summer so far. Next week you can
look forward to a Neighborhood Ride. Congrats to the jersey winners
Donna Sandoval and John Barbachano on their crit domination and Ivan
on the KOM !

CYCOLOGY - The Lancaster Ride
15 weeks we have been doing this ride now! Incredible how many
people join us each week. Some people we haven't seen in years,
others we ride with daily. The two things that we all have in common
is the bike and friends. A total of 60 riders rolled out of
Lancaster City Park for a tour of the westside this past Wednesday
night. This week we hit neighborhoods, open roads and raced down
Lancaster Blvd. Shilo and Casey reclaimed the jerseys again this
week with dominating sprints.
Sigma Sport again provided the winners with product. Every week
we include a different type of competitive event and the winner
wears the coveted CYCOLOGY Jersey the entire following week. If you
have a bike, and have the ability to pedal around town for two hours
on Wednesday night, come out and join us. All of the ride info is
posted on the Local Rides link. The
ride is totally social and cruises around a 12mph pace. We hit parts
of town you never even knew existed every week!
