1 August 2020. A day of training on the Colorado Trail, Molas Pass to Durango at Junction Creek, 75 miles of blissful single-track.
Since December 2014, I've been a member of Northern Colorado Grassroots Riders, a grassroots recreational and racing mountain bike team based out of Fort Collins, Colorado. Member benefits include generous discounts and other perks from Niner Bikes, Primal Wear, Alpine Dental Health, Social, Akinz, Nick's Italian, Colorado Landscapes, Wright Environmental Services, ReZults Personal Fitness, Hines Inc., and Long Building Technologies Inc.
Separate from NCGR and within the community of Fort Collins, Colorado, I have also received discounts, donations, and advice from the best physical therapy and sports medicine clinic on the Front Range, Integrative Physiotherapy; a gifted massage therapist and former professional athlete Aggie Holer (LMT) from Beyond Horizon Massage Therapy; two exceptional Fort Collins bike shops, Road34 and Brave New Wheel; and a studio that exemplifies the very best in yoga diversity, instruction, and community, Yoga Pod Fort Collins.
Beyond the borders of Fort Collins, Quarq customer service, local and international, has consistently provided (2014 to present) fast, generous, and professional solutions when any issue arises (very rare) with my Quarq power meter.
Elsewhere, I confidently rely on the expertise at Subculture Cyclery in Salida, Colorado, when I'm training or racing in the Arkansas Valley; don't miss an opportunity to drop-into Subculture for service, parts, clothing, food and more.

Quarqquarq.com
The cost of a Qaurq power meter is significant for most of us but this is a professional-level meter that will provide insights, reliable and precise, to help us improve performance for many years. I've had a Quarq since 2014 . It's my primary tool for designing workouts and improving performance. I wouldn't recommend any other power meter. |
