Bike Snob likes to ride in the morning

New Outside Bike Snob article: https://www.outsideonline.com/2312031/ride-early-ride-often

I had quite a laugh drawing this one! A few inside jokes if you follow Bike Snob's blog. Sweet aero bars, sandals and a "crabon" frame. I personally think it looks extra ridiculous because I so obviously used his author headshot to draw from... as if he always has that exact same expression. Incidentally I've been getting up and riding early myself, but mostly because my stupid cat has started screaming for breakfast at 5am.

I reached out, wondering if he’d want to record a story for a project. And, a lot of drawing later here it is!   It was nice to get to know Greg a bit through our video meetings. He was so laid back that it was disarming. A couple of times I found myself nodding in agreement, “Oh yeah, the same thing happens to me on my bike.” But of course, it’s not the same. I was talking about the super smooth flow trail behind my house and he was talking about going full throttle down this year’s extra gnarly Val Di Sole track.   Thanks to Greg for working on this with me.   Thanks to Sarah and Gaspare for the bonus interviews.
