Branching Out Off The Bike

Road cycling is fun. Cross racing is more fun. Sometimes, with all the bike things going on, even the everyday rider needs to find a distraction or two along the way. Some maybe read in hotels or during rest days. Others may take up triathalons or something else physical to keep the juices flowing. Maybe a little pick up soccer. Knitting. Wine Tasting. Or, in the case of Ironclad Cat 3 and 2009 Rider of the Year Jeff Harwood, a mariachi band.

Jeff’s the new singer in the Crystaleros, a progressive math-rock Mariachi band. They’re like a cross of Jose Feliciano and King Crimson. With a bit of MC Frontalot just for nerdocore kicks.

Here he is on their first I-5 tour. We wish him well on his new venture.
