Battenkilled - NJ.com: Anchor House Ride for Runaways

New Jersey cyclist, Tim Quinn, made a late realization that he should have rented wheels from us. Check out his recount of his adventure at Battenkill this past weekend.

And YES, Tim, you can make a reservation now for your wheels.

Echappe HED Stinger 60s win Cat 2 Tour of Battenkill

Mike Margarite of CRCA/Empire Cycling Team from New York, NY won the largest race in North America riding Echappe HED Stinger 60s. Mike played the course to his strengths and turned the pressure on about 1 hour into the race up a steep ascent. Mike is a very strong time trialist (he won the Silvermine TT aboard Echappe's Mavic Comete disc wheel last Fall) and he successfully bridged to a small break away of three. This effort took him over an hour. Once he caught the group, he rotated through five times, looked around and attacked the group. No one responded and he put his head down and drilled it. Mike officially finished a full 49 seconds in front of the field, though at times he had over 6 minutes.

Mike's win earned him another free rental with Echappe Equipment. Congratulations, Mike!

Adam St.Germain, our Burlington Representative, placed third overall in this mountain bike contest. The day before Gabe and Adam duked it out at the Johnny Cake Road Race #3 in Coxsakie, NY. It was Adam's first road race of the season and something like Gabe's 12th, so there was a little discrepancy. But, Adam is hitting it hard!

This article by Rick Crawford is a great read for the competitive cyclist or triathlete. It speaks about not burning up yourself too early in the year with heavy training. As a cyclist who competes starting in February, this is an important aspect of training and racing.
