This past weekend I ventured down to Loudonville, Ohio for the Mohican 100, race #2 in the NUE Series. The Mohican course is really diverse. It has really fun single-track, lots of grassy double-track, paved roads and some KILLER climbs.

I chose my favorite tire set-up (2.1 Karma in the front with a 1.9 in the back) and opted to ride my Tomac Type X. We lined up at 7 a.m. in downtown Loudonville and the start went directly up a paved climb. I warmed up quickly and found myself entering the single-track directly behind Betsy Shogren (Cannondale). Even though we were in the lead I knew that there were a lot of really strong females chasing directly behind us.
Hydrapak is pleased to be participating in the 19TH Annual Sea Otter Classic taking place on April 16-19, 2009 at the Laguna Seca Recreation Area in Monterey, California. This four day weekend, also known as “The Celebration of Sport,” is filled with races, demonstrations, and the worlds largest consumer expo areas. With over 50,000 attendees watching 9,000 racers speed through various courses, this is the cycling industry’s grand season kick-off party.
When Lance Armstrong and Team Astana recently passed through northern California on a training session, Hunter Ziesing decided to try to ride along. Having some inside information on the route he thought he’d slip into the group and see what it was like to hang with the best.
Hundreds of potentially harmful chemicals known to produce Estrogenic Activity (EA) are combined to create plastic bottles. Recent awareness of the nature of these chemicals has prompted manufactureres to remove some of them. The most common chemical removed is BPA. But BPA is only one of many potentially dangerous elements and does not entirely remove the risk of EA exposure for the consumer.
However, with the introduction of the Pur-bot, Hydrapak is the first and only manufacturer with a certified EA Free bottle. Now there is no better choice for people concerned about their health. The Pure-bot is the one.

November has been the best month in the team’s 7 year history. First off, the team took 6th at the World Championships in the 120F temperatures of Northeastern Brazil and a week later won the US National Championships in significantly colder Georgia. Both races had beautiful and extremely tough courses (as most championships do) against the best in the world and the nation. We’re extremely proud of our accomplishments but know we couldn’t have achieved such amazing results without the continued support over the years of our amazing sponsors. Thank you! (Team Captain and Navigator – Cyril Jay Rayon)
