Eastern La Revolution France Tour Final Post

Posted in Featured News by Leigh Ramsdell

The Eastern La Revolution trip is over and it was great. Read on...

Our trip is over and man it was a great one. The rain kept us out of France most of the time but Barcelona was a hit. We are putting together a video that will be included in Soul Magazine and we'll put it on our site right after it's out. A teaser will drop will soon. I have to thanks Sunex big time for hooking everything up and a huge shout out to François for driving us around and taken real good care of us. It was also good to hang out with Vincent Perraud who was there to shoot a story for Soul Magazine. Enjoy the post from our last few days in Spain and France...

Last Spot of France Trip
This was the last spot we checked out. It was super windy and cold plus every one was too tired to ride. Next time...

 

Taking Bike Apart
The end of an incredible trip. The hotel rooms were too small to take the bikes apart in so the hallway had to make due.
