Operation Rapha


During a recent weekend get away with our asian cousin from Amsterdam, Mr Rifman, I managed to reach the end of the web. When I got there I had an epiphany and looked into the Rapha Gentlemen's Race in New Paltz. Well it was not to be, but there was one in the land where Washington led many a battle and river crossing - Trenton (what exit) NJ. Some quick research, a few secretive document passings from our contact at the Pentagon and we immersed the troops into an all out training program in preparation for our mission should the Executive Order come in.
Those of you familiar with the NECS philosophy, superior attitude/superior state of mind, know that we enjoy quality in cycling and quality in our partying. The Board of Directors have been known to warm the muscles with embrocation, flash a bit of Rapha clothing on the bike and even sport some of the haute couture available for everyday office wear.
Well we have scoured the ranks, run massive psychological interrogations and put each soldier through physical testing that could put the Seal BUDs course to shame, and all to ensure that we had the team that could pull off operation Rapha, that is should our application to the Rapha Gentlemen's Ride be accepted. You may ask just who are these men that are willing to risk life and limb to conquer the battlefields of Trenton in quest of the finish line, well these fine lads are the chosen few -

  • Top Chef
  • Infantile Tom
  • C-Dubbs
  • El Obamador
  • Braveheart
  • Paul Le Tour

Stay posted, to quote Phil Liggett, as we are "on the rivet" waiting to hear if the emperor of Rapha gives us the thumbs up or thumbs down.
