Been glued to the TV the last few days (waiting for US Customs to call us back). Coverage starts at 3:30 am over here on the west coast for a couple of these stages. Thank technology for the TiVo. Oh, in case you’re wondering, I’m watching a bike race on TV called the Tour DAY France.

Observation: It’s really really nice not to have the same old script year after year.

Observation: Floyd’s pretty impressive. (Understatement).

But he also shows panache, and some soul.

One of my favorite stories coming from the tour the last few days…this from the letour.fr website:

“After Floyd Landis regained the lead of the Tour de France at the top of L’Alpe d’Huez he decided that he wanted a beer to celebrate the moment. On the road down to his hotel, his team car pulled over and the American traded a yellow jersey for a six-pack of beer with a spectator.”

When you leave the top of L’Alpe d’Huez in a helicopter, you can’t do that!

Way to go, FUNKY!

By the way for those of you who do not yet know this, the preferred recovery drink for many is this one:
Basic
Energy and
Electrolyte
Replacement
Solution

Thanks to George Mount many years ago for that one (George, who did you steal that from?)

Cheers and BEERS (now that you know what it means).

Well y’all, we’re all anxiously anticipating shipping the first of the Mojo’s…it’s going to be any day now.
In the mean time, a little more love from the press out there. This time it’s Rob Coppolillo, our favorite Calabrian journalist writing for Rocky Mountain Sports in the People’s Republic of Boulder.
Rob’s a great writer, so here’s an entertaining twist on the Ibis story.

duh, click on the image for a full size view of the article.

Howdy All,

Today I have for you the latest delivery information for the much-anticipated Ibis Mojo Carbon. Tom just got back from the factory and has some good info to share. He just sent out a letter to all our dealers who have bikes on order, so if you have one on order but haven’t heard from the dealer yet, here’s the info straight from the source:

“Well the time has finally come for us to make the first shipment of Mojo Carbon bikes -Yea!

As always, thanks from all of us for making the leap and joining Ibis before the hype. Your support and patience are much appreciated.”

So that’s the word from Tom. Unfortunately we don’t yet know who is going to get what as far as bikes go. We wish we had more to go around, and we’ve been working hard to increase producion. Supply should free up a little bit in September.

Again we apologize for the delay.

Scot
