SOMA Triathlon Tempe, AZ -

It was truly my pleasure to speak with all of you that stopped by to talk at the SOMA Triathlon this month.  WOW!  Lot's of Valdora bikes there!  Great job guys/gals!  For those of you who stopped by inquiring for your local Valdora dealer, we will get around to contacting dealers soon.  Sorry...R&D and new product projects first, marketing 2nd.  Feel free to ask your local dealer to drop us a line as well.

Note from Andy Pele - "just wanted to let you know I qualified for Kona at IM CDA. I finished 5th in my age group and 43rd overall (21 pros in the field). My time was 10:04:08. I was conservative on the bike (5:21) averaging 223 watts  in hopes of running a 3:15 marathon. Legs felt great for the run though I was only able to pull off a 3:24. In Kona I'll push a bit harder on the bike and tweak my nutrition a little."
