Pacos Custom Rapha Jerseys

Our friends at OLAB, with help from Rapha, created two new custom jerseys. They are in the shop now.

Donner Summit

This black and white jersey pays homage to the past, present, and future… to each stroke of the pedal, the suffer and summit—our local proving ground. Around every corner you can see views of the peaks crown, crags, and wind blown pines who’s leaning expression exemplifies time endured in the elements of the outdoors. This jersey represents this resilient form. Wake up, breath it in, and commit to the process.

Wednesday Night Ride

This red and black jersey was inspired by the Wednesday night ride that would roll nearly every Wednesday from Truckee at a social pace out to Cabin Creek Road then the group would usually clean up and reform into a two-up pace line at a light tempo. Before you knew it you were rolling past Squaw and then up Alpine Meadows Road where riders would throw it down in a local legends battle to the top. The more seasoned riders would sit in real tight and reel in the wannabe breaks most of the time… but not always. As the guard shifts, the story evolves. It’s constant. Hell, one time Paco went head up with a bear on the descent and then made quick work of the hard pace line back to town. Fast folks would come up from Sac and Reno to hit this ride hard. Paco was always yelling to pull back a mile or three an hour or so but someone would always come out angry off the front pushing the pace and sprinting for West River. This jersey, in classic Pacos Red represents the domestique’s relentless conviction inspired by local cycling folklore. Do the work. Know your engine. Earn their respect.

We’re all in this together. Get’em while they last.
