Thanks to Rich Ruoff and all that is good Racing for putting on a great spring training race series up in New Holland!  Other than a few typo's in results it was a great experience!  It didn't hurt being 5 miles from the shop either!

The Good Fight

Welcome to THE GOOD FIGHT

Join us in our fight against product mediocrity! Many of the standards now in use by the industry -- BB30, System Integration, shaped tubing and more -- had their start at Cannondale. We continue push the envelope in bicycle design, and don't rest until we've found a way to make bikes and their components better. As a result, Cannondale continues to lead the industry.... 
We call it "The Good Fight" - a reaffirmation of our roots to constantly question the norm within our industry. Who wins? You do. Won't you join us?

The Tour of CaliforniaOff to the races!
With an estimated two million people in attendance during last month's Tour of California, the race was a huge success for Cannondale's team Liquigas as they prepared for the three-week Giro d'Italia stage race this May. Sharing the leadership this year will be Ivan Basso and Franco Pellizotti.

Follow Ivan Basso on twitter and the team via Cannondale's Liquigas news and videos.

Cannondale Factory Racing
The season begins with a muddy but decisive win for CFR at the first ever Maremma Cup in Tuscany Italy where Marco Aurelio executed what cycling news.com called "a perfect race" taking first with the one and only Roel Paulissen, Cannondale Factory Racing, right behind him for second place. Read more and stay informed throughout what is sure to be a winning season. 



What was that?
Our Italian riders at the Tour of California were aboard a prototype race machine. Cannondale's engineers are dialing in performance numbers based on the recommendations of the Liquigas team during this racing season. While we'd love to share some of the details, we can't do that just yet.But the guys at VeloNewshad this to say about the bike.

Jeremiah Bishop in Velo NewsWelcome to the family Jeremiah!

The Cannondale-Monavie team welcomes Jeremiah Bishop, multi - disciplined national champion - to their squad this year. The Utah-based team is participating in epic races during the 2009 season, both in North America and around the globe, such as this month's Cape Epic in South Africa.

When asked about Cannondale products, Jeremiah said, "I'm proud to be aboard a Cannondale; they're a company with a strong reputation as a leader and innovator, constantly pushing technological barriers. They deliver by building a stronger, faster and lighter bike. I couldn't be more excited about working with such a passionate and innovative team that's constantly propelling technological innovation. This is exciting"

WE HAVE ZIPP 1080'S AND 808 DEMO WHEEL SETS!

Call to schedule Demo Rides!

2009 Zipp wheels in stock!

Available and shipping now

When we introduced the 81mm deep 808, we saw it mainly as a time trial and triathlon wheelset. It did pretty well in those disciplines, netting a Kona IM world championship with Normann Stadler and the fastest Tour de France time trial in history with David Zabriskie. But lately we've seen the 808 more frequently at road races. Fabian Cancellara, no TT slouch himself, has ridden the 808 to victory with his trademark last-kilometer solo attacks at the Tour de France and Milan-San Remo and it was Fabian who told us, “The 808 is the new 404 for me.”

We're not ready to say that officially, but we will say that the fully redesigned 2009 version is the fastest road racing wheel ever. The new fully toroidal tubular rim uses design cues from the 1080 and Sub 9 development to further reduce the drag by 8-25 grams over the original 808.  The new shape yields to a savings on the road of 2-7 watts of power for a pair of wheels at 30mph, not to mention the real-world benefits of added stiffness and improved braking due to a slightly wider rim and angled brake track.

At 1462g per pair with 16/20 front/rear spokes, the new 808 Tubular is finding a home with more and more triathletes and road racers. Maybe Fabian is right, after all.

Back from Arizona!

This is the view from around 8000 feet!



We landed in Phoenix on Thursday, rented a car and drove to Tucson!  We got there just in time for happy hour so we went in search of some Mexican beers!
