CASTELLI x 2BROS: GARGANTUA JERSEY Limited Edition

CASTELLI MEETS THE UNRESTRAINED CREATIVITY OF 2BROS As the name says, they are two brothers, and they work in graphic design and illustration. Luca and Andrea Martini are 27 and 24 years old, respectively, and they founded the 2BROS creative studio in 2016 in Vicenza, Italy. Their illustrations are simple, created with thick lines and geometric shapes, and they seek precision, paying close attention to details. Colors are fundamental in giving character to their art, and it is clear that they are addicted to the 80s. With Castelli, they have been given an opportunity to advance their ideas, and they have helped Castelli create a visually distinctive product.

YOLOmites5000 – The Ultimate Cycling Adventure

  Have you ever wondered if it would be possible to climb 5,000-plus meters on small country roads in less than 120 kilometers? Some call it fun. Some call it torture. Igor Tavella, Ashley Norris Gruber, and Jered Gruber jump at the chance to ride the #YOLOmites5000 every year in September. An all-day adventure along the flanks of the Dolomites with a mix of gravel, dirt and asphalt. Not a flat road in sight, and packed full of adventure.     How did it all begin? We met up with Igor and Jered less than 10 hours before the start of the 2018 edition of the YOLOmites5000.   “I wondered if it would be possible to do 5,000 meters of climbing on all the little roads in less than 100 kilometers. Igor laughed – of course! At that moment, an idea was born,” said Jered.   “This is not for everyone. If you can’t stand the idea of walking your bike or maybe getting muddy or banging down a steep gravel descent, don’t even think of coming. It’s possible to ride everything, but I’m guessing 99 percent of participants will walk their bikes at some point. Even Igor has to ...

Strade Bianche recon – The calm before the storm

The Strade Bianche has quickly become one of the most thrilling and prestigious one-day races in the calendar. It is one of the physically most demanding races for riders and a real test for their equipment on the way to Piazza del Campo in Siena. The white roads and Tuscan hills are not a place reserved for professionals alone. When the pro riders will already lick their wounds on Sunday, hundreds of amateurs will fight their own battle on the exact same roads as their heroes the day before. A few days ago Anja Kallenbach brought out her bike for a track recon of what cyclists will be facing this Sunday. The changeable weather was a friendly reminder that one better should be prepared for all kind of conditions and bring – just like the pros – some warmer kit and a Gabba or Perfetto to be protected from the elements.
