Affiliated with hometown hero Lance Armstrong, the Juan Pelota coffee truck made its debut in April of 2010 to fill a void in providing snacks and drinks at bike races. The truck drove out to the Tour of Gila in New Mexico where it served contestants, staff and volunteers under a variety of weather conditions. Post Gila, the truck went on to the AMGEN tour in California before making it’s way back to local triathlons and bike race events such as the Mellow Classic at Lance’s ranch. The Juan Pelota coffee truck is an off-shoot of the Juan Pelota Café, which is located in Mellow Johnny’s bike shop by la zona rosa downtown. The rustic yet modern building used to the be the old Pearl distributing center before blooming into a community bike shop and café where commuters can even bike in and shower before heading out for the work day. In addition to races and special events, the coffee truck goes out to ‘the driveway’ every Thursday night just off 183.
