RailRiders Adventure Clothing

I often get asked this question: What is the origin of the name "RailRiders"? Surprisingly enough, RailRiders was not conceived in a Union Pacific freight car rattling across the country, but at sea in the prestigious Edgartown-Round-the-Island yacht race, off Martha's Vineyard. It was 1990, and I was one of 11 crew members aboard the 60-foot Talaria ("winged foot of Mercury"), skippered by an America's Cup-bound sea tyrant.
