Giro Prolight

Giro Prolight Helmet-  In 1985, the original Giro Prolight set the standard for modern light-weight cycling helmets. Now, 25 years later the new Prolight redefines what an ultra lightweight helmet can be. After an exhaustive, groundup design and engineering process, we’re confident that our new Prolight is the lightest game in town. Bar none. And it’s remarkably well ventilated and comfortable too - a labyrinth of optimized internal channels allows the helmet to exhale hot, stale air like no other. And by specifying Italian made, featherweight webbing along with our new, minimal Roc Loc SL fit system, you’ll have to remind yourself that you’ve got a helmet on at all. Designing the Prolight was a true exercise in restraint that reminded us that simplicity really is the most important element of style. And performance.
MSRP $200.00

The Arthritis Foundation's California Coast Classic Bicycle Tour

The Arthritis Foundation's California Coast Classic Bicycle Tour sponsored by Amgen is a spectacular 525-mile, 8-day tour from San Francisco to Los Angeles. Sun, rugged coasts, quiet beaches, lighthouses, giant forests, famous wineries and world-class cities are also daily travel experiences.

Leaving San Francisco as one group, Saturday, September 25, 2010, the tour shadows the coastline making the Pacific Ocean a familiar companion nearly every day of the ride.

Our Very own Randy W. from Irvine Rock N Road will be participating in this event.
Randy...
In the past year, I have been diagnosed with a form of degenerative Arthritis that is affecting my spine, shoulder blades, and hips. Simple things like sleeping without discomfort, putting on clothes, bending over to pick something up, and even sitting for long periods of time can be a chore for me.

The good news is that I can still exercise! I love to ride my bike and it is actually good for my joints and my condition. So I've decided to join with the Southern California Arthritis Foundation and ride 525 miles from San Fransisco to Los Angeles starting on September 25th.

Please join me in my fundraising efforts if you are able to! You can donate online or via regular mail. Just put rider name "Randy Williams" on your check if donating by mail. A donation of any amount is appreciated and will help me reach my goal.
