World Hardcourt Bike Polo Champs: The Beavers
Photo Credit: 321polo.net |
Congratulations to our very own Beavers!
321polo couldn't have said it any better than this. "What do you get when you mix bike polo, the teamwork of 1992 Dream Team,
the shooting accuracy of an early 2000s Tiger Woods, and the
synchronicity of migrating Canadian geese? You get Joey Halvorsen, Eric
Kremin, and Brian Dillman in the manifestation known as The Beavers."-321polo.net

Elle Anderson's Specialized Crux
Elle Anderson has been ripping up the U.S. cross scene this fall, including two wins at the Trek Cup in Watertown, WI. She's been riding the new Specialized Crux.
I've been riding the Crux this fall, and while I haven't won any races (yet), this bike is the best cross bike I've ever ridden. It's so stiff and burly, and I feel perfectly balanced on the bike. I've been able to take corners tighter and more confidently than ever before.
Here's the cyclingnews.com review:
