Trek 100, Bob Roll, secret Trek stuff, Lemond Carbon, MirraCo
David made it back from Wisconsin and he was grinning from ear to ear. He flew up Thursday morning for an early sneak peak to what Trek has up their sleeve for 2007. Thursday was spent on the golf course with Trek staff and other dealers from around the country. Greg Lemond was even there playing behind him.
Friday included 6 hours of product intro. and lots of new info. about Trek, Gary Fisher, Lemond, MirraCo, and Bontrager components. Lemond has an entire new line up of carbon bikes that will start showing up at our shop by the end of July. Trek will be having new full suspension models, including one bike under 20lbs. If you have to ask how much you don't want it. Gary fisher will have a new full suspension bike, and they keep getting lighter. Bontrager has a great new waterbottle and cage that are a must for any triathelete. MirraCo was also introduced. This is a joint venture with Dave Mirra and Trek. There will be over 22 bikes designed by Dave Mirra and distributed by Trek coming available in August. We have already placed an order for 25 bikes and can't wait for them to get here. They are the best 20" bikes we have seen.
Friday night we attended a silent auction at the Trek factory, in Waterloo, that was raising money for the MACC Fund which helps fight childhood cancer. The event was a huge success raising over $158,000.00 for the Fund. There was a lot of excitement when they did a live auction for a large display of all 7 of Lance Armstrong's tour jerseys signed and framed. The bidding was fierce and in the end there were three buyers that each got a display for $50,000 each. Bob Roll, Greg Lemond, Tim DeBoom, and Dave Mirra were all there. Come by the shop to see the posters signed by Greg and Bob.
Saturday started before 5am getting ready for the Trek 100. This was the 17th annual ride in Milwaukee sponsored by Trek for the MACC Fund. We rolled out and after 10 miles joined up with Bob Roll. We rode with him for the rest of the metric century, 62 miles. Well David got dropped after 42 miles. The rolling hills and increasing speed became to much for him and his weak legs.
He asked Bob who was going to win the tour this year and he said Hincapie. We hope so, he deserves it after helping Lance for so many years. Hope to see you soon in the shop.
