After a brutal start to the series, the Carnation TT finished up on a typical rainy day. We were at least treated to relatively warm temps, but the roads remained a little slick. Thanks to everyone who raced this abbreviated series and congrats go out to Chandler Leach (Audi) and Trish Bailey (Keller Rohrback) for their overall victories!
 Last month I went to Serotta's factory in Saratoga Springs, NY to attend a week of advanced fitting classes by the Serotta International Cycling Institute (SICI). It was a great week of education, meeting some of the industries top bike fitters and researchers and other fellow shop owners. It was also a great bling-fest with some unbelievably beautiful hand built bikes on display and in production.

2010 has been a great year for Linsey as she has podiumed at all of her her big races this year. Starting in third, then second, and now she's got her first! At Ironman CdA, Linsey set a new course record with a blistering time of 9:17:54. After a great swim and bike, she took control on the run and never looked back.
Linsey came to to FootWorks last year before Kona to be dialed in on her bike. She proves that the right fit will maximize your comfort, power and overall performance. Here's to Kona 2010!
Cyclesoles, custom cycling specific insoles, are now available at FootWorks Cycles. Cyclesoles offer an excellent custom option for your footbed with out the need for a custom "orthotic."

Cyclesoles are made in house by physical therapist and foot specialist Neal Goldberg who will make sure that your biomechanics, alignment, and needs are all accounted for. Typically Cyclesoles are made within 24 hours of your visit, if not while you wait.
Linsey Corbin had an amazing race at the 2009 Ironman Arizona. She was second only to Sam McGlone, and she had a whopping bike PR split of 5:05:07. That includes a pesky 4 minute penalty too! Linsey came to FootWorks to get her bike re-fit following her Kona experience in October. Things obviously came together for her.
Congrats Linsey, here's to Kona 2010!

2009's Ironman Canada proved to be a tough race for me. Temps were in the 90's, but I think the real problem was the intense smoke from nearby forest fires. The mountains that line the entire race course were nearly obscured from view at times. I wound up finishing an hour behind my planned time, and I ended up in the medical tent getting a couple bags of fluid dripped into me.
Congrats to all my friends and clients who also raced! It was great seeing you all out there.
So, I am now really glad to be back in the office. If you call or email I will be able to respond quickly.
