Give us a call at 802-496-7570 or e-mail if you are interested in getting on the schedule for metabolic/VO2 testing with Joey Adams of Intelligent Fitness on Saturday, April 10.  Please note that this is likely the last session for this service that we will likely be able to offer in 2010, so be sure to get on the schedule for these high demand and helpful sessions before the riding season kicks in!  Whether you are a serious athlete looking to set a PR or a recreational rider who just wants to lose a few pounds, metabolic testing can offer excellent insights into how your body processes fuel and how you can adjust your workouts to be as beneficial as possible.

If you are looking for adventure this weekend, or just want to spectate an event sure to have some exciting crashes and other chaos, be sure to check out the oldest downhill cross country race in Stowe, VT on Sunday, February 28.   The Derby starts at the top of Vermont’s highest peak, Mt. Mansfield, and finishes 16k below in Stowe village.    It is fun for all and Fit Werx is once again one of the main sponsors!     http://www.stowederby.com/

Be sure to visit our Flickr’ page to check out some of the fresh 2010 bike arrivals and some of the latest athlete bikes.

Sizing charts, pictures and descriptions of our Fit Werx kits, casual wear and many accessories are all in our on-line store.  We have worked with some of the best clothing manufacturers in the industry to create shop wear that not only looks good, but is also designed for performance and comfort.  Visit the Fit Werx Clothing Home Page in the online store.

We just posted a series of interviews with Fit Werx co-founder Ian Buchanan discussing how to buy the right bike the first time and some of the things to watch out for when shopping for new bikes and test riding.  Most of the videos can be found on our Fitting Services page.

There is also a video that discusses what our no charge sizing (w/purchase), the Basic Sizing for New Bike, is about.

Hope these help and let us know what you think!

Fit Werx is proud to sponsor the world famous Stowe Derby Nordic Ski race again for 2010.  Consider putting together a team and visit  www.stowederby.com for information on this classic event that takes racers from the top of Mount Mansfield to the village of Stowe on cross country skis!   Fun for skiers of all abilities.

While we don’t have all the descriptions and information we eventually want for each product, we recently added some big categories to the online store.

• Our Wheel Section is now one of the most informative on the web with reviews, full descriptions, specs and ratings on over 40 wheel models.  Click into any model for access to the reviews and ratings.
• Be sure to check out the great injury prevention and therapy tools from Trigger Point in the Injury Prevention area of the Accessories.
• Components are now listed.  We know that we still have a lot of work to do on these listings, but you can order and see some of the products we carry and recommend.  Just call if an item is not showing options or details and we’ll get it out to you.
• The Indoor Trainer section has been further built out and we are shipping trainers and associated accessories regularly.
• In addition to some of the gloves, shorts, helmets and shoes we carry, Fit Werx clothing is also available in the Clothing section.  We are still awaiting some pictures, but you can order Fit Werx labeled clothing and accessories, but they are available now for order off the site.

Keep an eye on the store and explore the rest of it while you in it.   Please let us know suggestions and questions as we are working on it daily.
