Riding bikes proves good for riding bikes

Local motocross racer Darrin Gerlach approached us this winter with a sponsor ship idea.  Of course at first we were taken back as we sell bikes you pedal and he races bikes with throttles.  But he discussed his plan and his need to implement more time into his training and the time was to be spent developing cardio fitness and endurance for competition.  After some thought we came up with a plan to let Darrin use and train on our bikes and in paticular an excellent condition 2012 Orbea H30 29ner Mountian Bike that we had just waiting to be pedaled hard. We tuned up the bike and dialed in the SRAM drivetrain and Darrin had our bike tech Aaron Rosenthal put some additional modifications into it like switching the brake levers from right to left and other small adjustments.  Darrin quickly started using the bike to ride to work to fit in extra training in his busy schedule and to also get additional cardio workout sessions to give him the extra edge on the competition. So far the strategy has proved good as Darrin has got podiums in multiple Moto races in his category across the NW.  Thanks Darrin for choosing Scott's Cycle and Sports
