That was a great ride. Can’t wait for the next Look Sharp soon!
And those donut caps. So cool, much jealousy.
Sweet ride - very much enjoyed the live commentary. Would do again 14/10. 
The ride was fun and all, but I'm still left with a burning question.... when can I get one of those dope as hell donut caps? I mean seriously, I'm losing sleep over this.

I want to be in the cool club too... LET ME IN!!!!


Should be able to buy them from Redbeard soon....

sweet group this morning...



This Friday April 19. 6:30am. GAP. Look Sharp.

We might talk strategy for Sunday, MVDP, is Richard Fries a dinosaur? but mostly we'll comment on whatever socks Dan Reiner is wearing. There will be live commentary. 

60 to 90 minutes, super easy gossip miles. Wear kissena colors, come looking sharp.

How to look sharp:


Little out of shape and can’t fit my Kassina kit. I can still fit my jacket. Is that ok? I never made it out to a look sharp ride and miss the the team!
@Joshua Wilson just don’t eat for the next day and a half. You’ll be fine.
60 degrees. No signs of rain. Look Sharp is on!
today was fun!


Great ride today fellas. Thanks for the tips @eloy
I missed sharp Fridays! I'll be around next Friday as well and then it's back to reality until the little guy is done with school in June.
Was a great time! 
**ANNOUNCEMENT**

In addition to the already legendary look sharp Friday rides, I will be starting a standing Wednesday morning ride focused on workouts. Workout Wednesdays? Leg-Wrecking Wednesdays? We can figure out the name TOMORROW during the first ride! 

6:30AM GAP tomorrow (4/24). The workout on tap is an old standby,  40/20s. These intervals will get you fit, fast. Boosting Vo2max is the goal (something I desperately need). This is also great practice for putting in efforts and making moves during races; high power output while you're gassed. 40 seconds at 125% FTP, followed by 20 seconds rest, rinse and repeat. 10 reps per set, 2 minutes rest between sets. Aiming for 3 sets, although suicidal thoughts do start to creep in...

Come suffer. Looking sharp highly encouraged, although you are unlikely to be photographed.

I would be there - but going to Dallas for the day tomorrow. I will be there next week though....
Friday. 6:30AM. GAP.

We'll ride somewhere between 60 and 90 minutes, supah mellow social pace with probably some rotating paceline hotness and all the skillzzzz.

We'll continue to discuss Dan Reiners' sock choices, Annika Langavd multidiscipline firah, and MVDP, bcs obvs. Live commentary will be provided.

Wear kissena colors, come looking sharp, like these mofos.








I should be able to make it on Friday. We have to step up our commentary game though.
