Jersey Pocket Stuff with Chris Jones

There are just a few days to go with both the Rapha Facebook Jersey Pocket Stuff Competition as well as the USA Pro Cycling Challenge happening here in Colorado. How are these two things linked together you may be asking yourself? Well, good question, but they are. One submission of the Jersey Pocket Stuff comes from our Rapha Focus Pro Cyclocross racer Chris Jones. When he is not competing at the highest level of US Cyclocross Jones spends his time racing with the UnitedHealthCare Pro Cycling Team. He is currently sitting about half-way up on the GC for the race, but keep an eye out for Chris as it is well known that he is great when the road goes up. He sent through this Jersey Pocket Stuff a few weeks ago when he was training outside of Auburn, California. Take a look at everything that a true Professional carries with him and wish him luck in the final stages of the USA Pro Cycling Championships.

While you are at it pick up a copy of the newest Velo Magazine (formerly Velonews.) They have included a few selects of Jake Stangel's amazing photography from our take on The Challenge in their course preview guide. Then, if you are excited (which you should be) about seeing Jake's photos live and in person head over to the Rapha Cycle Club in San Francisco to see the images as they hang on the wall of the gallery space from now until September 28th.
