Star and Lisa headed to Birmingham this past weekend to try their legs, and new bikes, on the Speedway at the annual "Ride to Live" race.
Let me just start by saying that we are all SO EXCITED about our new road bikes. They arrived last week and they ROCK!!!! For 2008 Specialized has an even better women's line than in the past and we are all on the Ruby road bike. It is incredible. It is fast and light and responsive like my Tarmac was, but I can ride it with a regular length stem. I LOVED my Tarmac and this bike is even that much better.
With new bikes, new gear, and legs antsy from a winter of not racing, Star and Lisa decided to head to Birmingham and remember how to race. They lined up a strong field and and raced well. Both ladies animated the race and were trading punches with two other teams that each had 4 riders, along with a bunch of solo riders. They made the final selection but were a bit out-maneuvered in the last turn. They ended up 7th and 8th. Great job ladies!! You rode well and looked great doing it. Notice the "rock star" pink and silver Specialized sungalsses...
Our new team kits are due in any day so please ignore the clothing. The new stuff will be worth the wait....
