LENOVO CYCLING TEAM WINS 3

This just in from Mike at the Lenovo Cycling Team….

The Lenovo cycling team has great news for the past three weeks of racing. We have now have 10 wins for the year. Not too bad for 3 weekends of racing. The good news is that Mike Hone, Wes Richards and Tony Ogden all took out the overall series for Mason Lake (a 3 races series). Wes Richards won all three of his races at Mason Lake and has now earned his upgrade to Cat 4. Mike Hone won his first road race since 2002 last week at Mason Lake. In the final race at Mason Lake on Saturday, Mike Hone placed 6th (4th in pack sprint) and Ian Tubbs placed 3rd (1st in pack sprint). Hone ended up with enough points to take the Cat 1/2 Series.

The Cat 1/2 team had won all the first three road races of the year and we finally were beaten this weekend which was a little disappointing. We wanted to keep the winning streak going. Yesterday, the team organized the Tour de Dung Series road race #2 in Sequim, WA. Thanks to all the partners who helped out with prizes for this event. We had a huge success with 370 racers turning up which was a record for this event. Hopefully next year we can get more showing up.

So all in all, our team is rolling really well this year. Seems like we are placing all across the boards. Please keep coming back to the team site if you want to keep up to daily race reports and results.

THANKS FROM A SPONSORED RIDER

I got to hand to our sponsored riders here in North America.  They go above and beyond on and off the race track.  It’s amazing to see the stuff that shows up here at Ergon USA.  Thanks Erick!

We thank you Erick for all your hard work.  [Holding coffee in air]  Here is to you and a successful 2009!

SEATTLE BIKE SHOW WAS A GO GO

Last weekend, we headed to the rainy city of Seattle for the Seattle Bike Show.

It was a big hit!

Many folks put their hands all over our grip displays and read why Ergon grips are the best.

We set up the Ergon booth next to some of our favorite people. TOPEAK!

There were large groups of people checking out the Ergon packs as well. Not only were the bike packs a big hit, but the outdoor packs were of great interest as well.

“Within 5 minutes, I have completey forgotten it’s there…. it genuinely puts the weight on your hips… I don’t even know I am carrying a pack.”

Raleigh, whose US Headquarters are in Seattle, lent us a hybrid bike to have at the show. Thanks!

The Ergon crew is heading to the Ouachita Challenge in Arkansas in a couple of weeks.  We’ll see you there!
