✌️ 2 Parts!

1. Hill Sprinter Spring Battle
Meet at. (9:00 - 9:30 AM) for a caffeine load before we drop the hammer. ☕️⚡️

We’re tackling 6 local "walls" across the city. High gradients, max torque. Meet back at the cafe at 11:00 AM to compare efforts and post the damage. (See pics 2-4 for the hit list 📈). Split up individually and do at your own risk, reward and order.

Part 2. Pillar Heights Pop-Up (11 AM - 4 PM)
Post-ride, we’re switching gears. Come through for the Pillar Heights pop-up at the cafe. Check out our latest custom and local performance gear—engineered for the climb.

Natural Fibers: Sustainable h**p and merino wool.

Premium Tech: Specialized French fabrics for the high-output athlete + our 85 gram jersey

Built for the grit. See you on the hills. 🏔️🚲

THE 10K RECON: DON’T GUESS YOUR STRATEGY TOMORROW 🏁🏔️

I spent the morning running the Sun Run route to scout the "Inner Game" of the course. If you’re lining up tomorrow, don't just "wing it."

I mapped the elevation and the technical stretches so you can manage your gears effectively:

🚀 The Georgia Descent: This is free speed. Open your stride and let gravity do the work. Save those quads for the second half.
⚙️ The Denman Reset: Shorten your steps, find your breath, and prep your engine.
🌉 The Burrard Bridge: This is the Testing Ground. 80m of vertical gain. Drive the knees and pump the arms. If you win the bridge, you win the race.

A Note on the Barefoot Vibe:
I did this recon run barefoot to get direct feedback from the road. But for tomorrow? WEAR SHOES. Between the discarded energy gels, water cups, and 40,000 sets of heels, it’s going to be a "technical" surface. Protect your chassis so you can focus on the win.

I’m a designer and a coach, but tomorrow I’m a student of the road along with all of you.

Respect the road. Find your flow. See you at the finish line! 🏆

1 - 2 inch over lap for a bib and jersey makes for very little to no zipper bunching. This is what's part of a perfecr fit.
Aerodynamics and aesthetics for comfort to cut through the elements.
