TransRockies 2011 - Jon Gould's team WN every stage, WN by hours!

This is Jon's 2nd time as a WN'er at the tough TransRockies. It even snowed on them in mid summer. He came by Saturday to give us his winning signed jersey. Nice!

Jon's team took every stage and ended the race over second place by hours! So I asked Jon how it went. I also had getting his new shoes dialed who by the way has 7320 road miles since Jan. What's neat about this friends mileage is he is 65 years young and claims he can get off his bike after every ride do what he needs. Many of his rides are 150 miles on the road, that's a lot of miles.

I asked Jon if our science works for him, he just gave a big smile and handed me the winners jersey.

Alex Grant & Amanda Carey mtb #1 Mt. Ogden, UT.

The USA Pro Road is getting a ton of press, but the Rockies are not just in CO. Utah has some very high country racing and there is some great mtb action going on. In all sports, you have to be motivated, it's no easy task to think you are going to race a mtb for 100k in the high country.

You have to tolerate a lot in any sport and profession and the races don't come easy. No question, there are methods, techniques that can make a difference. If you have done your homework, it will show in the results. These races really test your potential. Specific needs and training allow you to ride faster.

Both Alex Grant and Amanda Carey still have the mind-power, the motivation, to take the high country 100, at 10,000 feet of climbing in what was posted as 93 F temp.

Congrats towards two mentally tough and motivated top mtb pros! They are driven and devoted!

Fast Freddy keeps the Fast in his Name in USA Pro.

Team Exergy's Fast Freddy still Fast!

Fast and furious out of Gunnison

The race started like a rocket out of Gunnison, and with favourable winds and the first intermediate sprint only 15.4km into the stage the sprinters' teams kept the tempo extremely high into Almont. Fred Rodriguez (Team Exergy) showed he still has a quick turn of speed as he edged Elia Viviani (Liquigas-Cannondale) and Robert Förster (UnitedHealthcare) for top rights.
