Waite Endurance

✌🏼 While many were lining up for XCO last week, two riders were throwing down on gravel at the Utah with the Belgian Waffle Ride crew.

And both found themselves standing on the top step of the podium 🏆🏆

Proving once again that mountain bike skills and fitness translate pretty well to the endurance-focused gravel scene ✊🏼

Bridget, continuing her comeback from a major injury, claimed the win in the women’s Wafer (66 mi.), while Chase Willits took top honors in the men’s U19 Waffle (106 mi.) 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

With skinny(er) tires, curly bars, and longer distances entering the mix, our riders are discovering just how much fun there is to be had racing off-road beyond the mountain bike course 🚴🏼‍♀️🚴🏼‍♂️💨

We’re super proud of our rider @*charlie__thomas* who just spent two weeks in Europe with racing a couple of UCI Junior Series events. 🇺🇸🚴

Fun was had and a lot was learned as he got the chance to bang bars with Europe’s best on tracks in Germany and the Czech Republic. Huge experience, huge growth. 💪

Thank you for the opportunity. We’re fired up to get back to racing across North America in June. Let’s go! 🔥

🥇 Congrats to rider for her winning ride in the Whiskey Off-Road 50-mile Junior Women’s race last weekend in Prescott, AZ.
Her dedication to her training and learning more about what works best for her in terms of nutrition paid off with a 38 minute time improvement over last year!!
What a difference a year can make 🙌🏼

…and switching from the other “s” bike to our favorite SCOTT Spark was a wise choice as well 😉

🥇 rider with the 17-18 men’s win at round 2 of the at Vail Lake in Temecula, CA 🙌🏼

In one year, he’s gone from trying to get top 25, to the top of the podium! His hard work and dedication paid off. Well done Charlie 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

With the recent upgrades made by others teams, we’re stoked to bring the new race rig to Temecula next week for the next round of the Series.

Coach got his pilot license and Mechanic got his CDL and we’re ready to get moving… Now we can proudly say, “Yeah, we’ve got room for that!”
