NEW BEGINNINGS

We call this blog The Sunny Side, but it feels like it’s been anything but that. For a while we thought every BC ride was destined to be cursed and that we might just need to cancel until next year. But finally, May rolled around and the clouds broke.

We got our first sunny ride of the year, and it sure felt like it was the real first ride we’ve had yet.

Rewind to a few weeks ago, and we found ourselves up in the Land of Oz. Bentonville, Arkansas, a ski town for bikes and the home of one of the most unique gravel events in the country – Rule of Three. A contingent of Breakfast Club folks made the eight hour drive up for a week of gravel, coffee, and general two-wheeled tomfoolery. The Meteor drip was flowing strong and the spirit of gravel made itself known on backcountry roads in Northwest Arkansas.

A seemingly endless drive back home and it was full speed ahead for THE BIG ONE. Central Machine Works, our home, was ready to pack the house, and y’all showed up ready to rock.

This one left us spinning. We finally got the ride we’ve been waiting for all year… humidity and all.

Up there with one of our biggest rides to date and one we’re most proud of. Our ride leaders showed up in full force and were absolutely dialed, it was VAN DEBUT DAY, and it did not rain… whew. If ya missed it, well ya missed it. Don’t skip June because it’s only up from here.

From day one, we’ve always said Breakfast Club is for EVERYONE. We don’t care if it’s your first time riding a bike or if you’ve raced in the Tour de France. Well yesterday that couldn’t have been more true. Thanks for stopping by Lance Armstrong.

2024 finally feels like it’s underway, and we couldn’t be more stoked for future sunny rides. There’s plenty more to come as summer is fast approaching – stay tuned…
