Training, it can be fun!

First of all, we are incredibly happy that Chris Boyd (formerly of team Timberland) has decided to join our team. We always have had fun racing and training with Boyd, and can't wait to race with him as part of the team. We have been training in earnest for the last month or so, and with Mike, Tiffanie, and Colin getting ready to go to Outdoor Retailer next week, the team is looking forward to a recovery week. Brooks will be pushing ahead for another week, before a recovery week the following week while he is in Orlando, FL for a conference on amusement park ride safety. We have been having a great time training as a team recently, so here are some pictures!

Our Rocky Mountain Elements have been ordered, and we can't wait to give them a whirl. We have been promised that they will be FAST, and we are excited to see what they can do. Thanks to Eph and Rocky Mountain for giving us this great opportunity! We would also really like to thank Jason Williams and the guys at Sports Garage here in Boulder for all of the help they have given us over the past couple of weeks. If you are ever in the area and are looking for the best bike shop around, head to Sports Garage.

Love The Ride!

We are proud to announce a partnership with Rocky Mountain Bicycles for 2008! RM makes some of the finest bikes in the industry, and we are all looking forward to getting a taste of our new RM Elements. Thanks to Rocky Mountain, we can't wait to rip on those babies!

Active Hydration!

The team would like to say thank you to NUUN for sponsoring our team for 2008. As the leader in fluid electrolyte replacement, we don't have anything else in our bottles, ever. We use NUUN for pretty much every workout we do, and are excited to spread the word. If you haven't tried it yet, Get some NUUN!!!

Sweet New Rig!

Congrats to Colin!!! Colin ordered a new bike today, a Rocky Mountain Element. It is going to be a sick one!!!

Training has begun!

December 1st, preparations began for the 2008 racing season. We decided to start the training with a group 1 hour run in the mountains in South Boulder. Colin, Brooks, and Tiffanie had a great time, and can't think of a better way to begin prep for a great season. We all couldn't believe what better condition we are in right now than last year at this time, and we are all very excited for next season. Also included are some pictures that we took on 11/27, on a run right after the snowstorm.

New Sponsor!

We would like to thank Native Energy for sponsoring our Carbon Offsets for the 2008 racing season. By helping to build wind farms and other renewable energy sources, Native energy makes the most of your offset dollars. By sponsoring our offsets, Native energy will allow us to donate more money for 2008 to other needy environmental causes.

Great Ride

Still recovering from Saturday's fun, Tiff, Brooks, Colin, and Chris Boyd (Team Timberland) went for a mountain bike ride at Centennial Cone park in Jefferson County. This was the first time any of us had ridden the trail, and it didn't disappoint! The people who cut this trail did a great job, and it was some of the best singletrack I have ridden in quite some time. Boyd is doing a race in Guadalupe, Mexico next weekend with his girlfriend, and he was excited to get out and do some riding before the big race.

Colin has some picutres. We'll upload them soon!

Training Day!!!!

Tiffanie and Brooks went for a "walkabout" last Saturday. We joined up with the likes of Elite adventure racers Shane Sigle and Travis Macy and starting from the town of Golden, we basically bushwacked along every ridge, peak, and gulley we could find just west of Golden. After finding our way back to town 3 hours later, we hopped on our mountain bikes and took the long climb up Chimney Gulch with the same group plus the addition of recent rim-rim-rim record holder at the grand canyon and fellow GoLite athelete Dave Mackey. It was a great day, but we were pretty worn out in the end. We have been taking it pretty easy since our last race in September, and Tiff has just been resting her ankle which seems to be back to 100%. These guys were preparing for a race in Abu Dhabi in 2 weeks, so they were fast!

All-in-all, a great day. Colin couldn't make it, but we will punish him another day!

Sorry no pictures, we were going too fast just trying to keep up!
