Over the weekend, some of Vault's finest took part in the five boro bike tour along with 32,000 other riders. The 40 mile track proved testing at times but nothing a cold brew couldn't fix at the end. Despite suffering from a bad case of "saddle butt" this morning we had a great day out!

Renovations taking place in the studio this week. We're sure the noise will be well worth it once it's done.

So this arrived in the studio for Luke today. Ebay "bidding under the influence".

The largest awards competition in magazine publishing, and the only competition for ALL magazines and their websites decided that Vault 49's cover for Time Outs - Summer Concerts issue deserved GOLD!

The Ozzies, recognizing excellence in magazine design, is a prestigious designation bestowed to only the best editorial and creative teams.

Its always funny what you find going through the archives. Particularly, the tightness of John's pants.

While the rest of the world dons their casual attire to end the working week, we decided to give a healthy nod to the corporate industry and dress up in our Sunday best. Most of the studio had to wrench the threads from the back of the closet.

Barack swung past the studio to say hi!

Big congratulations to Elliott for completing his fourth marathon in a personal best time of 4:13. He flew back to Brighton UK to maintain his record of competing in every one since its inception in 2010.

A simple case of 'why not' led Jonathan to purchase this mini race car. After luring the crew down with the promise of a couple of frosty beverages afterwards, we managed to maneuver our way through oncoming NYC traffic, only to discover it wouldnt fit through the front door. So back to the garage to remove the engine, then try again during the week. A custom paint job will surely ensue.
