The Dust Settles After Interbike

Thanks to everyone for such a  lively and enthusiastic response to our presence at Interbike last week. Our friendly competition, the Strava Outdoor Demo Challenge, was a great success, rallying riders to perform their best with every demo ride and even attend the Tour de Lake Mead ride despite some inclement weather.

Kudos to those of you who attended that ride and chose to overlook the lightening and flash flood warnings.  As local bike paths doubled as drainage tunnels, those who were out test riding aero wheels with nice tall rims got to experience not just wind, but water resistance too!

In addition to the Tour de Lake Mead excitement, we got to see and meet true competitors repeat certain Challenge Segments, especially our XC course, in order to better their times. Our Challenge winners earn an extra shout-out for their hard work and tenacity:
