A New Bike Sponsor!

I really love being a part of the EVOTRI team. Mostly, I love my teammates. And practically daily it seems I pinch myself to make sure I'm not dreaming when I think about the great sponsors that we have had over the years. I mean really.....I'm a 41 year-old age-grouper from the middle of nowhere. Crazy. But, that is really the point. Our team has always been about the 'age-grouper' and the question....'What can an age-grouper do with great equipment and training?' I guess I embody that question pretty well because I was involved with triathlon for 2 years before getting chosen for the team. I worked my way into Ironman and ultimately qualified for the Ironman World Championship race. I really feel confident that the top-notch equipment helped to get me there.

On that note, here's the scoop....We have a new bike sponsor! QUINTANA ROO! I recently received my new CD0.1 frame. It's an all-carbon frame designed to minimize drag created by the drivetrain. It has an 18mm offset downtube that moves airflow away from the drive side in order to produce a more aerodynamic advantage. That's the meat and potatoes behind this frame. Sounds awesomely innovative to me! And being the girl that I am, I'm also excited to report that it is pretty! Black and red with crisp graphics. I mean really....you don't want to ride an ugly bike. Most frames out there now are cool looking but I really love the design of this frame.

In other words, I'm excited to get rolling. I'll be in the build process soon (or I should really say my husband! He's the coordinator of all things bike mechanic.) I've heard nothing but good things about the frame from my teammate Sweet who has already raced with his Quintana Roo. I realize how lucky I am to ride on new and great products. I look forward to it and also to giving updates on my experiences.
