2010 Sponsors Update

I made an earlier reference to my 2010 teams and sponsors in my January 14 video post but hadn't updated the rest of the blog to reflect new sponsors and all. The list this year is a good one and I am looking forward to putting it all together.

For the mountain bike season, I'll be racing with the guys from ALL MTN Racing and we've picked up Bicycle Outfitters up in Evergreen as our shop sponsor. Most of us will be riding Gary Fishers and a few will be on Niners. I'm excited to give 29'ers a go since I've been running a 69'er setup on my singlespeed for three years now and spent a season on Trek's 69'er Top Fuel. We have kept WTB for our tires, wheels, saddles and grips and added Honey Stinger for energy gels, bars, chews and other food needs and also added Rudy Project to the list as well.

For the cyclocross season, I'm planning on riding with the Boulder Cycle Sport crowd again.

Shop Local...

If you're ever in Amsterdam, I would reccomend you stop in at Kaptein Tweewielers. It is on the Overtoom and what impressed me about this shop the most was their product to floor space ratio. They had a solid collection of bikes— road, mountain, townie, touring, singlespeed/fixie, cyclocross, and a few time trial bikes as well. The majority of their stock bikes were Trek, Kona, Scott and Ridley with a few Santos, and Rocky Mountain too. They also had a great selection on clothing and parts as well. How many shops will have the SRAM XX full gruppo in stock as part of the window display?

We scored a set of Crank Brothers Smarty pedals for 30€ ($43 USD) and a pair of Wellgo flat/clipless combo pedals for E.
