Hahaha...I got the pic from the Sportsmobile site cause I didn't have a camera. But yeah, this car showed up at around 7. I drove by it to see what was going on and I saw Lopes standing around (I THINK it was him) and waved.

Ted with Chumba also has one of the Lopes 55s and shows up at the Loop sometimes with it.

Oh, maybe it was him then! Not very good at recognizing MTB celebrities. Except Paris Hilton, of course.

Hey!!! Paris rides a Spesh, just like me!! Haha, I wonder if she'll go out with me then? I think she could afford to put me on a nice new Demo 8 or something...

That van has been there on Thursdays for the past month or two. Not sure if Lopes himself comes with it though.

I'm really happy to hear about this. It's rare for anyone who is considered a celebrity to make local showings for a ride. It certainly shows character and class on Lope's part.

She may be dumb as a box of rocks, but she looks good on that bike.

Let's not get too excited. I don't think anyone associated with that van rode with us.

That's true. They might not have road with the STR crowd but they are not afraid to hit local trails with the rest either.

FWIW you can see Lopes and others quite often if you shuttle Laguna.
