Publisher's Statement

By Jeff Guerrero

Headwinds. Man, life is full of ‘em. And sometimes it seems like you just aren’t going to be strong enough to keep pedaling. This zine was born of fire (and consequently getting fired) and as well-received as it’s been, the troubles I’ve faced in the past few months have seemed damn near overwhelming at times.

But as unstoppable a force as the Earth’s convection cycle may be, I’ve always been fortunate enough to have an ace in the hole. Friends. And just like the way you find out who the strong, selfless riders are in a paceline, when the chips are down in life, you find out who your real friends are.

I’m proud to say I’ve got a ton of friends. Friends I haven’t seen in years have come out of the woodwork to lend their support. People I hardly know have done me favors that I’ll never forget. And my closest friends, well, I can’t imagine how I would have gone on without them.

Thank you, folks, you mean the world to me.
