I recently came across a flyer at Delta while I was walking to class. It said: DRIATHLON 5k kayak,…read more20k bike 5k run. Let's paint a picture for a moment: my favorite food is anything BBQ - ribs, pulled pork, brisket. I am 5'11'', 250 lbs, and I have this cockamamie idea: let's run a triathlon! I tell you what... I did not know what I was getting my self into... You see, I recently have had a few life changing events in my life. I felt the need to maybe inspire others to do more, to push harder, to grind a little harder in life. To show people with Bipolar that it's not the end, nor is it a death sentence as so many fear it to be. I started researching bikes for the triathlon and it was like a black hole of endless google binges. I decided to go to all the bike stores in the area - 7 total in the 60 mile surrounding area. I wanted to see each manufacturer's frames, welds, and carbon construction. I wanted to learn everything about the bike I needed. I needed someone to sit there and fill my head with knowledge, and not to just sell me a bike. I needed someone to sit with the noob and teach me the ABCs of bicycles. I found that at RAY'S BYCYCLE SHOP. I went into the Bay City shop and Brent Werner and his dog Lola walked me to the middle of the store full of bikes, and just laid it out. We talked gravel vs. road, we talked about components and group set and everything in between for about 4 hours. It felt like I was interviewing a famous singer and we were talking about his favorite song he wrote. I never felt as if I was bothering him with my pad of paper and millions of questions. I went to a few more bike shops and looked at more bikes. but I kept thinking of how nice that guy was, and how all these other guys are trying to sell me a bike I didn't need, that I would run for one season and want to ghost ride into a gravel pit after one race. I did the research and knew what I wanted, but bicycles are expensive, so between my GoFundMe donors and my savings I was still going to need a sponsor to help bring the cost down. So, I called the owner of Ray's Bike Shop to see if I could meet with him. I met him at his Midland store, and we sat down and talked. I asked him to read my story and told him my mission. Brad Alvesteffer was inspired by my story and wanted to stand behind me and be a part of my team by sponsoring me! Brad and I talked bikes for another few hours and I decided I wanted a semi-gravel road bike. I picked out a beautiful rocket ship of a bike. A TREK DOMINE 3rdth Gen SL6. It was a deep, dark, mysterious red. She is so beautiful. It has a Shimano Ultegra group set and when you hit about 20 mph it sounds like bees trying to attack you, so you just want to peddle faster because it's so bad ass. How the carbon frame manipulates each crack and rock that you run over during the ride, it is like riding on a full suspension bike without any shocks. It is truly a mind-boggling piece of engineering. Where the wish bone and the seat post meet and move freely without breaking is as dumbfounding as water going over the Niagara Falls; my brain just can't make sense of it. I'm 250 lbs and it doesn't break. The engineering that Trek has put into the front end is another mind-boggling feat of engineering. It can take a beating with ease, as if there is a motorcycle steering damper on the handlebars. It's a truly beautiful thing. Out of all the bikes I rode HARD and returned sweaty and wet, and there were many, there is no way I would change my choice with this amazing bike! We sat and talked accessories for another few hours it seemed, and he talked me through each one, showing me how to use each of them. I ended up with the Bontrager computer system. It was exactly what I needed. We put aero bars on it a few weeks later. At that point is when she really started talking to me and We fell in love! This bike is fast, and it is not just the peddler pushing the bike. There is no way I would be ready for this triathlon without Brad Alveseffer and his team at RAY'S BIKE SHOP! THANK YOU EVERYONE!! And Trek, don't stop kicking ass! Facebook @MyBipolarSucked
