Gear's Thoughts: PR's and Podiums

Well it's that time of the year again, it's our busiest month of the season.

Gear's Thoughts: It Really Was Nice to Meet You!

If you follow our blog or social channels, you probably know that we recently returned from the USA Pro Cycling Challenge, a 7 day stage race that traveled around Colorado.  What you may not know, is that this was the first big event we have ever sponsored.  Sure, we've been to an event expo here and there, including the recent Boulder 70.3 and USAT Nationals in Vermont, but we committed more than 15 employees and a sizable financial contribution to support this event.  With a world-class bike race in our back yard, we simply had to be part of it.
