Texas Time Trials 6 hour TT Race Report. SPOILER ALERT: I won! « Texas Tailwind.

A 6 hour TT.  Wow.

Great race wheel rental report from Ben Cooper in Fort Worth Texas.  As he said, “For the cost of a tire I was able to rent a $2,800 set of wheels that were selected specifically for my event. It’s like having 10 sets of wheels in my garage!”

In case you missed it, Laura Van Gilder, our winning lady in Blue, won the USA Crit series this week in Las Vegas.  It was a stellar performance for Laura, riding smart and making sure she had the right wheel to jump from at the finish.  We hope to support Laura for another great season of cycling.

Laura was riding American Classic 420s.  You can check them out here: http://www.racewheelrental.com/products/amclassic/ac420.php

Echappe Equipment Team Outfitters.

Echappe Equipment has quickly become known as an innovative bicycle company that aims at providing a unique service, race wheel rentals, at a price that is affordable to individuals. The feedback that we continually receive only reinforces the notion that cycling is an expensive sport and that Echappe helps ease the burden. While race wheels is one of the first big expenses that jumps into a person’s mind, there are a number of other areas where people incur the exact same problem. This reason is why Echappe Equipment continues to evolve and find new ways to help cyclists and triathletes alike. Echappe Equipment, with this idea in mind, has created Echappe Team Outfitting. We are providing teams with a “one-stop shop” where they can get race and training wheels, Shimano groups, and top-quality Belgian cycling clothes. There is no longer the hassle of talking with multiple sponsors, tracking down different orders, and trying to coordinate when everything will arrive. In addition, when all these products are order through Echappe Team Outfitting everyone is eligible for a 15% discount on their entire order. Let us handle the logistics, streamlining the process, and allowing people to relax in the off-season – as it should be!
