Echelon Spokes & Slopes Racing News

The road racing season if off to an early start this year.  We are now six races into the 2009 season and already have some results to our credit.  The races have been fast thanks to a warm, dry but windy winter on the Front Range.

Only one for our Echelon riders headed down to AZ for the Valley of the Sun Stage Race.  JD finished with a 19^th out of 100 on the General Classification after three days of racing. 

Next we had three who raced in the CSU Crit in Fort Collins.  Peter Schimpf finished 9^th in the Cat. 4’s showing some great early season form.  Brad Sims and JD raced the Cat. 3 race and finished well in 12^th & 15^th, getting boxed out in the final sprint.  Both spent some time trying to get off the front but were reeled in every time.

We had a great showing at the Frost Bite TT in Fort Collins.  In the Cat.4’s we swept the podium with Craig Howie, Brian Holcomb, and Peter Schimpf taking 1, 2, and 3 respectively. In the women’s 35+ Cat.4 Roseanna Neupauer finished second.  Brad Sims took 1^st in the Cat.3’s with a stellar ride. He then headed to Denver for an afternoon Cirt at City Park and finished in the top 20.

Then came the Road Runner TT in Morrison with Peter taking 2^nd, Brain 3^rd in the Cat. 4’s. Cat 3’s Brad took 6^th and JD 16^th on a technical course.

Next up Koppenburg March 28^th results will be posted on our Facebook page.

Spring News Letter

We have had many requests to keep you, our customers, up to date on the happenings here at the shop.   As we make our switch from ski to cycling season we thought this would be as good a time as any to get started. 

We have been receiving the new 2009 bikes and accessories and should see most of the new gear by the end of the month. 

We have the new Giant Bicycles, the TCR Advanced SL, and the New Defy and Avail bikes which are replacing the OCRs in the Giant line.  They have been redesigned and both look and ride great.  You can see the TCR Advanced in action under the riders from Rabobank in the pro ranks. 

Scott has al so brought back both the Addict and the CR1 road bikes for 2009.  To see the Scott Addict in action, watch for George Hincapie, Mark Cavendish and team

Columbia/ Highroad. New 2009 mountain bikes are here too. 

The Scott Genius at 6” bike travel can do everything and the Giant Anthem X and Trance X models have been further improved. 

Come in and check out the new Dura-Ace groupo, it is light and works and looks great.  

We hope that you all are enjoying a great ski season and that spring brings you closer to you bicycle.
