Our barista Coby recently finished the MS 150, a two-day fundraising bike ride that benefits the the Colorado Chapter of the National MS Society, and the 76,000 Coloradans in our state affected by multiple sclerosis – and he wore our brand new Wash Perk bike/run socks for the ride.  (Ashleigh will be sporting the Perk socks as she rides the Triple Bypass next week)

Look as cool as our baristas as you ride this summer – Get your pair at the shop today!
