And speaking of great old California club jerseys... I just got my grubby lil' mits on an orange and black long sleeve "Velo Spo rt Berkeley" wool jersey (with front and rear pockets!) from none other tha n Pete Rich himself! He was a VERY friendly and generous fellow and I am thrilled that he was at his shop when I popped in last Friday. Although I only spent a few minute s in the shop, I heard some great tales. It would be great to get him eith er down to Velo Rendezvous or way out east for the next Cirque.
