Our boy Jake “Snake” Rubelt won the Arizona State Pro 1-2 Championship road race today in an 18 mile solo effort for the RideClean squad.
I believe he has now taken a state title six or seven times, in the disciplines of cross, mtb and road.
I haven’t found any pics from the race yet. I’m sure someone will have them up by this time tomorrow, feel free to please post a link in the comment section if any of you find ’em. Here is a small video recap/interveiw with the RideClean boys, posted over at Facebook: facebook.com/#!/video/video.php?v=1284217820994
Congratulations from all of us.

dominic snapped his carbon frame today while out climbing with me. we are so fucking bummed. the fuji rep at our lbs is going to make it right, but dominic is too fucking big to ride carbon. he’s putting his gears on his steel serotta. he’s on the look out now for a used titanium frame.
This reinforces the perception that carbon fibre failure is not a matter of “if”, but “when”. And yet the stuff has been used in aerospace for decades. One of those things that makes a person go “Hmmmmm”. But I’ll say it again-We’ve only begun to tap the potential for the stuff. I’d love to see where it goes in ten more years.
I’m sure a carbon bike could be made that even my fat ass couldn’t destroy, and it might still be lighter than steel by a couple pounds. But one look at me and you’ll understand why I could care less about a couple pounds of frame, more or less. I’m not obese, but at 6′ 2″ with a large frame, well, I’ll always be a Clydesdale. I’m cheap, to boot. Good thing I like the steel bikes I already have.
