Breakaway Ride presented by Specialized (B+L Offer)

"Cycling Fans,


My name is Kellen Vigil and I work with AEG and the Amgen Tour of California.  One of the events that we are currently promoting is our version of a Gran Fondo.  This mass participation ride, known as the Breakaway Ride presented by Specialized, will take place on April 11^th in Thousand Oaks and on April 25^th in Davis/Santa Rosa.  This is an opportunity to experience the exact same route that the professionals will ride in May during the 2010 Amgen Tour of California.  We are offering a $25 discount to all B+L employees and customers by entering the code BreakawayBL during the registration process.  For more information and to register, please visitwww.breakawayride.com. 
  
Your support will go a long way in bringing the Amgen Tour of California back to San Diego in 2011.  As a native San Diegan, I am asking that B+L employees and customers represent the San Diego cycling community and promote what “America’s Finest City” has to offer.  Please feel free to contact me with any questions and I look forward to seeing you in the very near future."

Update from one of our Team B+L athletes, Brent Prenzlow.

"Thank you Gordon and B&L for your support of my racing! I am enjoying my best results ever and having great bikes/equipment is a huge part of that!

MTB:

The S-Works Stumpjumper 29er is quite simply the best mtn bike I've ever ridden. It is so fun to ride and fast it has renewed my interest in mtn bike racing. From the first ride, I knew this bike was perfect from me. It's my first 29er but there was no "getting used" to the larger wheels - it immediately felt natural. The handling is great through singletrack and the improved traction on steep climbing is noticeable. Combined with the super light weight and stiffness, this is by far the fastest and most comfortable bike I've raced!

2010 Results:
1st Pro - Racers & Chasers #1: Balboa Park, San Diego
1st Pro - Southridge Winter Series #1: Fontana
1st Pro - Racers & Chasers #3: Cahuilla Creek, Anza

Cyclocross:

2009-10 was a great cx season for me as I captured 23 victories total! (14 - Elite/Pro, 5 - Masters 35+ 1/2/3, 4 - Singlespeed 1/2/3)
I won all the local Series overall titles:
1st Overall - SoCal Prestige Series, Elite Men
1st Overall - Urban Cyclocross Series, Elite Men
1st Overall - Cross Fever Series, Elite Men
1st Overall - Cross Ferver Series, Masters 35+
1st Overall - Best of San Diego Cyclocross, Elite Men
105 Career Elite Cyclocross Wins


Thanks,
Brent"
