BOULDER, Colo. (VN) — After the debacle that was the Pegasus fallout late last year, one that saw nearly a number of riders and staff lose their jobs and their ProTour dreams, one wouldn’t blame owner/director Chris White if he just wanted to bury his head in the sand and hang it up. But that’s just not who Chris White is.
When we say the "long haul" it doesn't mean just a road trip, it means spending a year with the Küat NV rack. Did we like it?

Among all of the famous names in mountain biking, the little-known haven of Gooseberry Mesa, Utah goes largely unnoticed. That's about to change.
While Fruita, Colorado is not as famous as its neighbor to the west — Moab, Utah — the small Colorado town is home to some of the best mountain biking in the region.
One of the ways members of the Dave Matthews Band are trying to reduce carbon output is by riding their bikes while on tour. To that end, the band has teamed up with Specialized Bicycles for rest, recreation and fan education.
I’m back. After my last fit session, I rode several times with my new saddle, new pedals and new position. I felt good, but I was still feeling that all-too-familiar burning sensation after about 90 minutes of recovery-pace riding. I was beginning to get really frustrated. I thought that I had plateaued and really wasn’t making any improvements. I decided to take a few weeks off the bike; the decision was partially my own, and partially dictated by my schedule — final exams were coming up and I really had no time to do anything but grade my students’ work.
I’m back.

It was a crisp fall day here in Boulder as I pulled up to the Boulder Center for Sports Medicine with my bike on my car and all my gear in a bag. I was swiftly directed to the locker room and changed into my kit while my bike was rolled away to the fit lab by a staff member for “calibration.” I was then brought into the biomechanical fit lab, which was impressive, and, frankly, a bit intimidating. When I walked in, my bike was already there in the center of the room, mounted to a trainer, which was hooked up to a remote unit that controlled the wattage output.
Well, today was my first meeting with Andy Pruitt at the Boulder Center for Sports Medicine. I was warmly greeted by staff, filled out the requisite paperwork and waited to be called in. As I waited I noticed, among the many motivational photos of the outdoors, that there were various autographed photos of athletes from around the world thanking Pruitt for his help; I was quietly hoping that the day would soon come when I’d be able to send him a photo of myself offering him my thanks…
