Squadra Ciclismo Cascina Spinasse!
Good pal, former teammate and fellow cyclist Gina Tolentino has teamed up with one of my favorite restaurants to form a new team for this year’s STP: Squadra Ciclismo Cascina Spinasse. Gina has also designed what will surely be the coolest jersey on the upcoming Seattle to Portland double century, hands down.
The new team is holding a fund-raiser at Cascina Spinasse on June 30th to help pay for the fancy kits, food and lodging with 10% of proceeds going to Bikeworks in Columbia City. And if you ride your bike to Spinasse on the 30th you get a raffle ticket for one of those prized jerseys.
Dinner, not including wine - suggested minimum donation of $100
Dinner begins at 7:00pm, reservations necessary.
Please call 206.251.7673 for reservations.
Good luck Spinasse! If I’m not stuck at the office pushing pixels I hope to see you on the road. Keep an eye out for the bright orange freight train! And let’s drink beer in Portland this time!

Since money is obviously an issue, I would definitely remove the date from the sleeve. Gotta think ahead to the ride next year! Why not use the kits again?

We decided to put the date on there because it is the first year of our team doing the ride and it’s fun to have a date for posterity. If we do the ride again next year as a team, the riders who already have a jersey will have the first year edition. if new jerseys are needed for new riders, they will get the second year edition. The cost to make this small adjustment is minimal. The longer you’ve been with the team, the cooler your year number is!
