Brian Hill checks in from Miami, FL

After months and months of training in the mountains of South & North Carolina and sleeping in my own bed work finally forced me onto the road and sent me to Miami, Florida.  Seeing as it is the heart of winter with potential for snow and freezing temps daily I was not one to complain.  Plus South Florida is the fastest place in the States at this time of the year hands down.  6am group rides daily that average 30mph will definitely have anyone prepared for the race season to come.  If you really want some adventure you can race the traffic through downtown at 45mph.  Just gotta stay out of the right lane to avoid the quick right turns.    

With morning rides that start off with views like this it has not been a struggle to get on the road and into some training.

Training Canadian Style

Nick Friesen is joining the Stan's No Tubes/AXA team this season. Below are a few photos of our sole Canadian training for the upcoming season. It's cold for our friends up north so they sometimes have to figure out alternative ways of getting some exercise. Luckily for us, Nick is now out in Tucson, AZ putting in the hours.

New Wheels Mr. President?

After a week of terrible weather in State College I decided to head back to the district a day early. On a causal ride this afternoon I thought it might be nice to see if the President would like to test out a pair of Stan's wheels. Unfortunately I couldn't get close enough to ask him.
