Before he was a rock star on the Cervelo Test Team and riding with the world’s best, Ted King rode for Fit Werx/LG Racing.  We’re proud to have helped Ted with his position, footbeds and bike tuning as he worked towards the big show and think it is great that he made it.   Ted was recently interviewed by Velo News at http://velonews.competitor.com/2010/04/news/qa-cervelo-testteams-ted-king-%E2%80%94-no-sophomore-slump_113327 and keep track of Ted as he races the Pro Tour at http://www.iamtedking.missingsaddle.com/.  Ted is an entertaining writer and it is worth checking out his blog.

We always love to capture the moment an athlete leaves with a new bike. See our recent deliveries here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/47072917@N05/

The 2010 Vermont Sun Tri Series is a race series we have sponsored for the past few years. These events are very well-organized and take place in and around beautiful Lake Dunmore in Salisbury, Vermont.  We believe these triathlons are the best in the region and we are happy to be a sponsor once again in 2010.  As you build your race schedule, consider the Vermont Sun Tri Series.

Dear Rider:

On behalf of Impulse CYCLEsport of Shelburne, VT and Fit Werx of Waitsfield, VT, I would like to invite you to participate in the 2010 Prouty Bike Ride. This event is one of the most challenging and rewarding cycling events in the North East. From the Prouty website:

Participants in The Prouty and The Prouty Ultimate come together to celebrate and support the courage of cancer patients and survivors everywhere and to raise money for crucial cancer research and important patient services at this nationally-recognized cancer center. Since 1982, The Prouty has raised more than $9 MM in the fight against cancer.

Please consider joining us for this amazing event. Our goal is to raise at least $5,000 as a team. Information on The Prouty can be located online at www.theprouty.org. Cycling events include 20, 35, 50, and 100 miles. It is my hope that our team will commit to the 50- or 100-mile events.

As part of our team you qualify for the Fit Werx gives back program and a discounted Fit Werx jersey for the event. With every pre-event purchase made at Fit Werx, Fit Werx will donate three percent (3%) of your pre-tax spending to The Prouty up to $300. You will also be provided a customized training program from Impulse CYCLEsport to get you primed and ready for The Prouty.

The event will be held on Saturday, July 10, 2010. If you would like to join us please email me at impulsecyclesport@gmail.com. You can register as a member of the Impulse CYCLEsport-Fit Werx team on The Prouty website. We would love to have you. Download the official invitation here: Prouty Invitation

The Burris Logistics-Fit Werx team heads to the Wayne Elliot Circuit Race on Saturday and the Blue Hills Classic on Sunday. Should be an awesome weekend for racing.

Serotta will be having an open house at the factory in Saratoga Springs, NY and everyone is invited!   Factory tours, food, group rides and much more will be offered.  Check it out on the Serotta site.

Catch Fit Werx at the VT City Marathon Expo in Burlington, VT on Saturday, May 29.  Fit Werx will be offering a bike fit seminar for riders (or potential riders…) of all levels at 4 p.m.   Visit http://www.runvermont.org/page.php?pid=1&pname=home for more information on the weekend’s events.

fitwerx.com has seen some major changes in layout and navigation in the past week.  Please check it out and we’d love to hear what you think and any suggestions you may have to further enhance the site and navigation.  We want you to be able to find things fast as the site now has over 100 pages!   Also note that we now have a total of five blogs, so please subscribe to any and all if you want to stay as up to date as possible.   Please send suggestions to ian@fitwerx.com.

As of late Tuesday, March 30, massive flooding in MA has created impassable roadways in the Peabody area and has forced Fit Werx2 in Peabody to close early.   As of the evening of Wednesday, March 31, we are unsure when the street serving Fit Werx2 will reopen, so please call 978-532-7348 or email over the next few days to find out the status .  Thank you for your understanding and Fit Werx in Vermont is currently unaffected by the flooding and is here to help you in the interim.

Both Fit Werx locations will be closed on Saturday, March 20 as the vast majority of our staff will be at the Multisport World Expo in Cambridge, MA that day.  We apologize for any inconvenience, but hope that you will come out and enjoy the Expo with us!

Note that Ian and Dean (lead fitters for Fit Werx) will be providing a free seminar at 11:30 at the Expo entitled, “IMPROVING YOUR COMFORT AND PERFORMANCE ON THE BIKE: WHAT EVERY TRIATHLETE AND CYCLIST SHOULD KNOW.” We hope to see you at the Expo and we’ll be open normal hours after Saturday!
