A number of charitable organizations offer programs where you can train and compete for a cause.
Do your non-cycling friends think you’re overly ambitious (or insane) when you tell them you’re going to ride 100 miles in a day?
The run, bike and triathlon
season in the Rockies is ready to kick in to gear. And to help you get ready
and motivated is the 5430 Sports/Bicycle Village Multisport Expo on April 26.
The full-day expo, which
will be held under a huge tent outside of Bicycle Village’s Westminster store
at 9170 Wadsworth Parkway, will feature over 30 different exhibitors ranging
from local sports stores to bike and gear companies to coaches. Demo the latest
bikes from Trek, Specialized, Guru and Bianchi. Check out the latest clothes
from Zoot, Pearl Izumi, Descente and Sugoi. Sign up for a fun tri-cycle race.
Test your wattage on a PowerTap machine. Enjoy a fun fashion show.
Sit in on an array of great presentations and discussions including:
11 a.m.: Cycling for Triathlon Performance by Neal Henderson, Sport Science Manager at Boulder Center for Sports Medicine and triathlon coach.
Noon: A panel with leading triathlon coaches who will share their training insights and be available for a Q&A session.
