In this episode of Service Course Report, all three hosts are together in Carpinteria and Summerland, riding trails, swapping stories from their early days—motos, Thunderbowl rides, and sketchy railroad crossings—before diving into gear talk and Tour fashion. We break down seat pack essentials and the rise of electric pumps. Then it’s on to Tour de France talk: leader’s jerseys, black shorts (yes or no?), polka dot style moves, and a nod to Mario Cipollini’s original flair. Plus, we debut our new segment, "Ama-Teur", with a legendary tale from the 1992 DuPont Tour. Tune in, laugh with us, and share what you carry in your own seat bag. *We apologize for echo issues.
