New Wind Tunnel to Open in Fort Collins, CO

A new wind tunnel testing facility in Fort Collins, Colorado USA, operated by Colorado Premier Training (CPT), is set to open August 24th, 2007. By measuring wind drag, power output and heart rate simultaneously, CPT can accurately determine the most optimal body position for each athlete, thereby offering Position OptimizationTM Coaching Services.“The facility itself is world-class and to provide the best coaching service possible, CPT has hired Mark Cote from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) to run wind tunnel operations,” said CPT owner Steve Owens. Mark Cote comes to CPT with experience working with athletes such as Carlos Sastre as well as members of Team CSC, Liberty Seguros, TIAA-CREF and other professional teams. “I feel privileged to work with CPT and know that we undoubtedly have the best tools to optimize the positions of countless cyclists and triathletes. I’m really excited about this opportunity,” said Cote.

The grand opening of the wind tunnel is Friday, August 24, 2007 located at 2506 Zurich Drive, Suite 3 Fort Collins, CO 80524. The grand opening event will include a media party, tour of the facility and a raffle, which will include a free wind tunnel session and other prizes. The event is open to the public, with media and professional athletes in attendance. Immediately following the grand opening, CPT is quickly filling its first 2 days of testing starting August 25th & August 26th.
