The fine folks at Johnny Sprockets had gotten into the fervor of dirtbaggin’ for many years – despite being ‘newer’ to cross, they were old school to the scene of dirtbaggin’. Manuel Tenorio, owner of Johnny Sprockets, is a Chicago native who is also known to have ridden ‘The Garden’ back in the day growing up in Chicago. His shop, his employees, and his growing team has exemplified a ‘you can do it in the dirt, let’s show you how’ principle. Manuel is in this video below, and he spreads the derka highlighting a phenomenal cyclocross season for Chicago. Cross season is under 200 days away – and we can’t wait for it. Thank you Sprockets for making this fine review of the Chicago season.
Things to look for that are warm to ‘The Bonebell’ heart – one shot of Manuel Tenorio warming up on the rollers, while ‘El Maya’s’ nephew watches in amazement, to this day, he believes what he witnessed was ‘awesome!’. Second great shot of ‘Stiggity’s’ son, Henry, clanging the intro to the cowbell mayhem with our namesake ‘bonebell’. We love these shots not just because its our family – but because it did exemplify to us and our familes to all those involved with this sport that that cyclocross is indeed a family event.
Thank you Heather Jurewicz for creating this gem. I’m sure everyone has seen it on the googles – and we’re just passing it along here as well!
