Porsche Bike Adventure: Customized bike jerseys!

Customized bike jerseys!

I am about to order customized bike jerseys for my 2016 Porsche Bike S adventure. Niello Porsche in Rocklin, California has agreed to sponsor my bike rides and summer fundraiser. I created this design in three Porsche color schemes using Adobe Illustrator. Jakroo.com will produce the jerseys based on the designs below.

I should have the jerseys for my first ride April 24, the Wildflower 65 in Chico, California. The next ride and the kick off of my summer fundraiser will be the Gold Country Challenge, May 14 in Grass Valley, California. And the final ride will be a Century ride on October 1 in Sacramento, California. I will be wearing one of these jerseys for each ride.

All of my 2016 cycling will be on my 1998 Porsche Bike S mountain bike and will benefit charity. The charitable effort is top secret and will be announced at the May 14 53-mile Rotary ride.

I'm seriously impressed with the custom cycling jersey I ordered. The fit is spot-on, providing both aerodynamics and comfort during my rides. The attention to detail in the design is impeccable, and the vibrant colors haven't faded after multiple washes. The moisture-wicking fabric keeps me cool even on the hottest days. Thanks to Custom Cycling Jersey Company for turning my vision into reality – now I'm not just riding, I'm riding in style.

My Story

I am a fanatical Porsche enthusiast. I love all things Porsche. This has led me to explore the depths of the automobile brand including some of the least known items the marque is known for. My latest journey - Porsche bicycles!

When I was 13 years old, I fell in love with Porsche cars. Delivering the morning newspaper on my Schwinn ten-speed bike brought me face to bumper with a white 911T each morning and from there I was hooked.

Many years later, I have a garage full of Porsche automobiles and a plethora of Porsche paraphernalia including everything from posters, flags, hats, shirts, sunglasses, scale models, a wristwatch and much more; all of the normal stuff any average PCA member has collected.

Some of my more prized Porsche possessions are my three Porsche bicycles. Yes, three. One is a 100% original 1996 Bike S. The other is a heavily modified 1998 Bike S I use for road and mountain riding. And the latest is a touring-style 2004 Porsche Bike X that I turned into a road bike. I have ridden these three bikes over 5,000 miles in the last few years.

In 2016, I rode many training miles in preparation for a 53-mile ride in the California Sierra foothills, a 72-mile ride around Lake Tahoe and the grand finale ride of 100 miles at the Sacramento Century. The 100 mile ride I believe is a world record on a Porsche Bike S.

Then in July 2017, I completed the 2017 Death Ride with the rebuilt and ultra rare 2004 Porsche Bike X. The Death Ride is an extremely challenging 125-mile, 15,000 foot elevation gain bike ride that crosses five mountain passes in the California Alps near Lake Tahoe. I believe this was the first time a Porsche bicycle completed the Death Ride. Another record.

In the fall of 2020, I rode the 184.5-mile Chesapeake and Ohio Canal Towpath across three days on the 1998 Bike S. My first multi-day bike riding tour. Another Porsche bike record?

And this blog shared every mile!

2016, 2017 and 2020 were great years of riding. What could possibly follow that?

In 2021, I completed my goal to ride the 360-mile Chesapeake and Ohio and Great Allegheny Passage on the 2004 Bike X. I converted the Bike X back to a hybrid bike for the six-day epic adventure. And in 2022, the Bike X also completed the 237-mile Florida Coast to Coast ride with eight other Porsche Bike riders.

More Porsche Bike adventures are coming up. And just like previous efforts, I plan to share every mile on this blog!
