Issue 05: My First Time

The theme for Issue 05 is “my first time” and I sent this starter paragraph out to our contributors…

They wrote back with stories about a race, tour, trade show, bike shop job, and being a rock ‘n rolla. So what did I do that first time in San Francisco? I rode The Wiggle, a one-mile, zig-zagging bicycle route from Market Street to Golden Gate Park.

Mark V accidentally glued himself to a set of my CX tubulars and then OD’ed on gum spirits trying to escape, so he’s on hiatus for this issue.
