Tuffy did a great job to get the Hollywood sign up at the start of this year’s Tour de France. To keep the ball rolling, Frankie Andreu surprised us all by doing two interviews in a HOLLYWOOD CYCLES TSHIRT!  I gave him that shirt three years ago when he was here for the Proman’s women’s team for the Nature Valley Grand Prix… three years later, that shirt made the final cut when packing up his suitcase.  RAD!

I loved the snot out of that little guy, we will miss you  Smokey.

Hollywood Cycles’ sponsored riders are on Top!!!These two (Kristy Kreme & Sophie the Pip) gettin’ dirty on Saturday at the season opener - our two new Expert ladies ridin’ Tomacs, winnin’ their age groups and both finishing top 5!Hollywood racers scored medals in EVERY category, even the title sponsor!  4th overall in Pro/Expert race, 1st old guy! Johnny T would be proud!So that’s the dirty side, now the road side… which still can be DIRTY.  P.K. ripped a top 10 at the Almanzo 100+ mile gravel road race - check out his write up here.  He rode strong and, the week before, helped me across the line at the Marty Road Race, getting me a wicked 2nd place finish!  So how do you do better than all of this?  Winning, duh!
