Yes Joe B. got some more press. He really is an inspiration to us all.

Anyone interested in helping organize an Endure It Team for Road, Crit, TT's and Cross Racing for 2010. Call Ron Good at 630-774-8745
I can see us mopping up in local TT's with so many great Triathletes! Remember there are plenty of age group, category as well as women's races and TT's every weekend starting in late March and running into September. Then its CycleCross! That may be one of the hottest new sports around and the local scene is big. Lets talk about it.

The past two weekends, road cyclists headed west for the annual Fall Fling. This year the Fling consisted of a Crit, Road Race, Time Trial and Circuit Race. Endure It was well represented as you can see below. Fantastic Racing everyone!

Joe Berenyi took 1st overall in the Citizens Mens Race with a first in the Crit, first in the Road Race, 5th in the time trial and 6th in the Circuit Race. Joe can race boy!

Stacy Applewick also took 1st overall in the Women's Cat 4. She took a 2nd in the Crit, 1st in the Road Race, TT and Circuit Race. This girl is strong....and competitive. No podium photo available but what could be better than this one at the line just getting ready for the bike throw!!

Last Day and All Work and No Play!

Ok so we didnt start until 10 am but it was almost all Day. Four Ibuprofen a couple cups of Joe and were all good.

Two wheels to be on the look out for in 2010 from Easton. EC90TT (above) and the EC90SL. Both have ceramic bearings, come with Swiss Stop brake pads and skewers. Retail is $1900 for EC90TT and $1800 for EC90 SL. Here are some specs on the EC90SL

Wait until you see the cool kits Endure It is bringing in for Spring/Summer. Capo Forma has Some great new fabrics and colors. it also looks like they have solved the dreaded rubber bands on the legs. As you can see above they clearly outdo themselves every year.

Here I pirated a VeloNews Review of the Giro Ionis Helmet that launched last year. Is it expensive, maybe, but what is more important than your Noggin'? Alright Dean, maybe thats number one, then noggin' second!

The new ProLight Helmet from Giro. This is postioned as the lightest helmet made. Very unique system with out the patented Roc Loc, it has a self adjusting webbing strap in the back and a three position temperal adjustment for a solid fit. it really feels like your wearing nothing. On your head I mean.

New Tri Bars from Easton. The rep really didnt have his S%$# together but you get the idea. full Adjustability.

We have some great video from Saris Cycleops, 2XU as well as Easton, Bell, Giro that i will upload in another post.

So stay tuned the foolishness is not over yet!

The Boilerman

Ron Davis mentioned the Purdue Triathlon Club Olympic distance race (The Boilerman) at Augusts meeting last week.

Below is the site for someone looking to race into September at a location not that far from the Chicago area.

http://web.ics.purdue.edu/~triclub/BoilerMan.html

It's only $45 to enter so it's very inexpensive for an Olympic distance.

This year will be the 9th annual.
