- MASH takes on California
This past February I was invited to join MASH and drive a support vehicle for the team as they embarked, unofficially, on the Tour of California route on track bikes.
Yes: fixed-gear, no brakes on the same climbs and descents as the pro peloton.
If I wasn’t there to witness it for myself, I might not have believed it happened. These guys punished themselves every single day…sometimes ending a stage by streetlights…returning to economy hotel rooms without a massage or a catered dinner. Michael Martin, Gabe Morford and Will Meeker captured the entire trip brilliantly from the back of a Honda Ruckus, the open doors of a passenger van and the side of the road.
Check out a preview for the full-length film below...
