New pics coming soon!

I had a great fitting last night with a female competitive age-grouper. In the past she's been within 30 minutes of qualifying for Kona and we were able to help her position quite a bit. I was truly impressed that she was able to put up the bike splits (and overall time) that she did given her position. Now her new position isn't going to give her the full 30 minutes, but it will definitely help her get closer. As most of you know those last couple of minutes (or pounds) are always the toughest!

I'll have some before/after images posted over the next couple of days showcasing her change.

Happy Thanksgiving,

Ride a bike and get fit!

So yesterday I retweeted about kids biking to school. Following up on this topic, I came across a video from Trek's CEO John Burke talking about Trek's 1 World, 2 Wheels initiative. He posted an interesting stat;

In 1964, 50% of kids biked to school and the obesity rate was 12%.
In 2004, 3% of kids biked to school and the obesity rate was 45%.

New saddles coming to town!

Greeting and salutations! I got to meet the legendary John Cobb while attending the FIST workshop a few weeks back. He's a great guy, knows a ton about aerodynamics and recently started his only cycling accessory company, Cobb Cycling. He currently focuses in on saddles and aerobars. I just placed HBF's first order with them and I should have his V-Flow, V-Flow Plus and V-Flow Max saddles by the end of the week. I'll try and post a short review of each once I get a chance to test them out a bit.

Until then....

Welcome!

I just got back from Xantusia and the FIST workshop last week. I learned a lot and am eager to start using what I learned. We should have the website complete in the coming days. Stay tuned!
