Je-Vontae Gets His New Ride - Really Pumped Fresh is Making a Difference in the Community

Dear Mr. Brenner,


I want to Thank you for your generous donation of bikes to the Big Brothers, Big Sisters Association. I really appreciated it.

When my mom informed me that I was identified as one of the Littles to possibly receive a donated bike I was extremely excited. My Big Mr. Patton called and informed me that I was one of the selected Littles and brought the bike to my house. I was so happy. I love my new bike. It's so cool. I will think of you every time I ride it.

I can not express in words what this means to me. Thanks so much for your kindness. I have enclosed some pictures of me and my bike.


Thanks Again,
Je-Vontae Ragsdale.

Big Brothers Big Sisters

Shawn,


I'm a volunteer Big Brother to a 13-year old boy named Jevontae. When the Big Brothers/Big Sisters of Atlanta office called to tell me someone had donated a bike that may fit him, I was very pleased. I went to their office the next day to see the bike, and knew immediately that it would work for Jevontae. For the past two years he's been riding a bike that was designed for a small child, so he was ready for a larger bike.


I plan to give him hands-on lessons in how to clean, lube and adjust his new bike, as well as repair flats. I'm an avid cyclist, and we look forward to riding together this summer.


Jevontae will soon be sending you, along with his own thank you, a picture of himself aboard his new bike so you can post it on your website.


Many, many thanks for your generosity!


BTW, I read that you once worked at Roswell Bikes. I used to hang out in Todd's shop way too much. I've known him since he first bought the shop many years ago. If you see him tell him I said hello.

2009 Georgia State Single Speed Championships at Hawks Creek Farm - Athens, GA

Talk about a fun weekend outside of Athens. Two days of racing and enjoying the sport we love most. Fresh took it back to the old school this weekend, Greg Lemond 'Giro' helmets we well represented and taking the Freshness to a whole new level. The Purest, the Single Speeders' - laid it out there at the Georgia State Single Speed Championships at Hawks Creek Farm. Three different events were held - a short track race, a night-time time trail, and then Sunday was the grand finale with the Georgia State Single Speed Belt on the line. Riders, supporters, and volunteers enjoyed some great racing, camaraderie, and beer toasting with friends. We battled rain and some serious flies but we lived to share these Fresh Ryding experiences. Check out the pics and let Fresh know what you think.

Cheers,

Dubbie Fresh

Dirty Spokes - Fort Yargo 6 and 12hr Race

We had a great showing at the 2nd Dirty Spokes Race of the year. More than 300 racers came out to Fort Yargo to race on Saturday. The course saw a lot of rain on Friday evening/Saturday morning. At the start we had good weather, unfortunately it didn't hold up. The rain made for some interesting conditions to say the least. Fort Yargo has a lot of rooty sections that are filled with quick/intense - drop then climb whoops. These low areas were just holding water as the rains picked up throughout the afternoon - riders were blasting through hub deep puddles in these whoop sections. Climbing was no easier matter either as the riders rear wheels failed to hook up - sliding all over the place when climbing certain sections. It was slow wet racing but everybody was smiling and having fun on their bikes.

The adverse conditions made for a good day of wrenching as brake pads, cables, and drive trains were in constant need of attention. At one point I think me and Dan replaced like 5 or 6 brake pad sets in 30 minutes. Fresh Bike Service was pumped to help out again at another great Dirty Spokes event. Thanks for all the fans, racers, and volunteers.

We want wish Tim the best, and will keep him and his family in our thoughts and prayers.

DIRTY SPOKES 6HR RACE AT HERITAGE PARK - ATHENS, GA MARCH 2009

DIRTY SPOKES 6HR RACE AT HERITAGE PARK - ATHENS, GA MARCH 2009

It was a great weekend of racing. I really enjoyed the scene - seeing friends and helping out all the racers. Fresh Bike Service served as neutral support for the race. Thanks and compliments to Tim from Dirty Spokes Productions for another awesome race.
It is great to be a part of such a quality grassroots race series.

The weather report all week was calling for cold and rainy weather. We weren't let down - it felt like 36 degrees for most of the day, plus add in the rain. I think I was wearing 5 to 6 layers by the end of the race. According to most of the riders, 'the course was running pretty tacky and hooking up better than expected but the abundance of roots was causing some good wipe outs as riders tried to push it through the adverse conditions'. Regardless of the weather there was a great showing of racers and venders - I think we all are anticipating the upcoming race season. Tim estimated the total race entries to be around 250. I think the average lap times were ranging from 1hr to an 1hr 10min; the top riders were putting in upper 40 min to +50 min lap times.

Things of note on the race:

My buddy Matt Slafkosky getting clothes lined by a briar patch. Apparently the guy behind him got it worse. Note the Pictures

A broken Gary Fischer frame

Team Mean Bean (Matt and Kelly) take second place to the Terrapin Wake in Bake Team (Jeremy and ??) Mean Bean won the series last year, looks like we are in store for another good battle

Had a great time hanging out and working with everybody. Looking forward to the next race.

Cheers,

Dub Fresh
