Tri Reminder & Bike Options

First of all, I wanted to remind the RMEC that it is time to break out of your comfort zone, and do your first Triathlon. There are several options nearby that are great "starter" events.

• 04/04 Tri Roanoke Valley - You can't get an easier swim than 300 yards at an indoor pool! It is only a 30 minute drive too.
• 05/30 Lake Kristi Tri - Okay, ready to get out of the pool? Lake Kristi is a half mile swim, and in very shallow water. This Greenville event is small, fun, and well run!
• 06/13 Buckhorn Sprint - A little more of a challenge, but still a sprint. Plus you have more time to train. This new event is in Wilson

If you are looking for some Bike Options, Eric Seale has a small surplus right now you may want to consider. He prefers to sell locally so he can offer to service them if needed and he will certainly adjust the fit to whomever purchases one.

• Cannondale F3000 (front suspension) in a large size in Volvo Team colors. It has a mixture of XT/LX parts, SRAM twist shifting and Mavic CrossMax Wheels. As I usually ride/rode my Jekyl, this bike probably has around 350 to 400 miles on it. It would be a great Cross Country / Xterra race bike.
• Raven II, Carbon Fiber / aluminum, dual suspension bike (large) with disc brakes and a mixture of XT/LX parts, Shimano rapid fire shifting, and the frame was strengthened at the factory by the lead engineer. I have probably put less than 200 miles on this bike. I would not necessarily suggest using this for racing downhill, but for cross country / off-road riding in this area, it would be perfect - and it looks uber cool. It is fairly light for a dual susp. disc bike.
• Aluminum 56cm (good for riders in the 5' 9 to 6' 0 range) size, CAAD 5 red, white and blue tri bike that I am thinking of (but not totally decided upon) selling. This bike has Ultegra/DuraAce parts and DuraAce/Mavic wheelset with 9 speed cogs.

If interested, Eric will be happy to show them to you, let you ride them. Pricing will be advantageous to encourage a sale and not have them collecting dust.
