Shout out from Ingrid Backstrom: “First of all, I have to give a shout out to Chris Thurber at Ritual Cycles for my newest “toy,” although you can hardly call it that because it is a work of art and a beautiful machine.  Chris is a skier and biker and he makes amazing custom fixed gear and other types of bikes–this particular one is a cyclocross bike because it will be perfect for both fire roads and bike paths in Tahoe.  It’s fast and so much fun to ride, and I can’t thank Chris enough.  If you’re even thinking at all about a newer mode of transport or just want to see some really nice rides, definitely check out www.ritualcycles.com, or drop Chris a line!”
