The 40 Yard Dash and Chug

Well it was bound to happen...so much trash talk between friends that finally it erupted in a 40-yard dash challange. It seems the Ironman in training and Tommaso Product Manager TR Maloney stopped by and was going over some bike business when a certain Jeff L. stated he could run faster than TR. Of course this was countered with a "I could drop you in Birkenstocks!"(Tough words from a man who shaves his legs). As you know once the line is drawn between boys there is no backing down. A date of September 4th was set (after Ironman Louisville-God forbid a toe gets tweaked before the event). Being a kind soul TR added a PBR beer chug at the end to allow Jeff a chance in the competition. After reviewing the video one will see that a 40-yard dash is best saved for perps on Cops (not intended at you Jeff) and not marathon runners...It's all in a day of fun at the Randall Scott Company. Enjoy!

Cross My Heart...

With the changing of the seasons from summer into fall a sense of anticipation fills the air for many cyclists. While centuries and single track riding during the summer is certainly breathtaking, both literally and figuratively, the fall season offers something more genre bending. Geometry similar to a traditional road bike but tire clearance and components that make the bike more versatile when it comes to varied terrain, the cyclocross (or cross bike for short) holds a special place in the heart of many.

Cross races are some of the most exciting to watch and the riders are truly the baddest of the bad in the cycling world. I've never seen a clean shoe or shin after a cyclocross race. Typically the face isn't safe from the mud either. CrossVegas which runs in conjunction with Americas largest cycling trade show, Interbike, is an extremely popular race which will receive television air play during the months of October and November for anyone who is interested in catching the action.

We at Randall Scott are excited to see this less mainstream form of cycling take off and have noticed that many people and companies are being lured into enticing and exciting world of cyclocross. We even caught a sneak peak of a Tommaso cyclocross bike at the Tommaso Bikes Facebook Fan Page. According to the caption the carbon beast will see some race action this season. We hope it goes well so we can get our hands on one of our own, and hopefully a grip of them to make available to you too.
