Contender’s National Champs

by Patrick, 9 January, 2012

Resident God Father of Cyclo-cross Lou Rollins claimed the National Championship recently in Madison Wisconsin.  This is Lou’s second national title.  Lou is quite the conqueror when it comes to the dirt.

Also securing the National title in her category was Kris Walker.  She pretty much ran away with many of the Utah races and she brought the goods to the big time.   Congratulations to you both and thanks for representing Contender bicycles at Nationals.

Your National Champs Lou Rollins and Kris Walker

Take a walk on the wild side with Lou, Reed

You’re my boy Lou!

All hands on deck!

by , 16 December, 2011

It’s the fourth quarter, bottom of the ninth, the last kilometer and we’re down. Down about 81 team points to be exact. We need our troops to bring the ruckus to wheeler on Sat. Remember no matter what category you race your points count. How can I step it up even more you ask? Race more than one race. Do the single speed race, the masters race, B race, or whatever. At the end of the day if we want to keep this title we’re going to have to earn it. See you Saturday at the farm.

Racing in the snow at Wheeler

by , 22 November, 2011

Good video of some of our club guys in this one. The snow didn’t seem to deter Ty Loyola, Tony Church, Travis Mickelson, and Joe Brubaker.

More pics from Saturday

Dylan Cirulis took these shots from Saturday’s snowy adventure. After the Heber race we are in a dead on tie for the team lead. Keep it up guys we got to defend our title.

Now is the winter of our discontent. It’s just cross people

by , 6 November, 2011

Yes we’ve got snow, yes it’s cold, and yes my jean jacket isn’t as insulating as I thought it would be but let’s get real. Cyclo-crossers unite and tough this sort of thing out. They did in Heber on Saturday and I’ve got the pictures to prove it. As you may know the Contender armada was only a few points away from the team overall lead going into Saturday so keep an eye out to see if we made the leap.

Weber all the way

by , 16 October, 2011

The Contender crew came out of the gate swinging at The Weber Fairgrounds. It seemed that every race I saw there was black and green in it racing for a high place. I took some video of the A race start too it’s a little shaky but I think they’ll get better every week. Check out the evidence.

Cross is here

by , 3 October, 2011

The first weekend of cross took place this last weekend and lots of Contender people really brought the ruckus. Some new people some new bikes and a whole lot grit were on display at the fairgrounds. Check out there pics from old club buddy Dylan Cirulis.

This was Reed on the way to the beer garden.  Boy was he disappointed when he found out they were only serving watered down iced tea.

It was Megan's first cross race ever and I'd say she got the hang of it pretty well.

Graham’s ready for Cross are you?

by , 20 September, 2011

If you know Graham you know the guy is crazy into cross. He’s even crazier into his bike set up. Weather you call it misguided, outrageous, or just plain over the top you gotta respect the initiative.

Yo Reed, loan a brotha some coin

by , 6 September, 2011

I don’t know what Reed did to get this money and I don’t want to know. But if you see this man in the street try your best and fight the urge to rob him. I’ve already tried twice but Reed aint no easy win. It’s a rescission Reed. Do some good with that money. Or at least get your self a nice steak dinner at applebees or something.
