Light the Taco !

I really hate to be the last one to the party. So here is a much needed recap of how the new Team Redlands rally cry was born.

Cycling Kit Timeline:

January 4 11:00 AM
New Kits are distributed to the rank and file of Team Redlands.

January 4 3:37 PM
Reports from the field start to trickle in regrading Bib shorts fit.

January 5 12:18 PM
While riding in the drops a TR rider notices the pad which is more located in the front seems to work better.

Later that day reports of riders pulling the shorts into a more Taco like position appear to assist in the fit.

January 7 4:30 PM
Team members start to think of the pad as an inverted Taco. The more you pull the Taco into the shell the better the performance.

January 8 10:05 AM
While riding the rain cross ride in an aggressive position someone is heard yelling Light the Taco !

January 13 (actual time unknown)
Castelli e-mail confirms the following fact " Orientation is consistent with bibs worn in pro peloton by Cervelo and Garmin.Pad is oriented more forward and meant to be optimally comfortable in aggressive riding position.

January 26 4:23 PM
light the Taco is adopted as the official rally cry of all Team Redlands riders.

Trucker hats and T-shirts will soon be available at all fine stores in the 909. All proceeds will go into a prize pool to be given away this summer. That's right The Tuesday night World championships just became Taco Tuesday !
