Mission Mission

Word on the street is that Mission resident and Sexual Camel team rider Kirt Fitzpatrick won his age category as a cat 1 (read: fast people) last weekend at Mountain Bike Nationals.  Major bonus points for embodying several hipster stereotypes on the podium.

In the event he inspires you to strive for athletic glory, he has previously shared some insights regarding his pre-season training:

   I’m quite willing to believe Kirt, as I subsist on a vodka/burrito diet. What an inspiring dude. Really makes me think I can make it happen. Anything, that is.
