This is long overdue, but the 2011 Prouty Ride on July 9th was a great success for the Burris Logistics-Fit Werx Team.

Going into Stage 8, Thor Hushovd finds himself leading the overall General Category standings of the 2011 Tour de France. While Thor is a strong rider in his own right, it is hard to think that his new Cervelo S5 has not played a notable supporting role in how yellow found its way onto…
By Christian Verry Let me start off by saying this is the best stage race I have ever done. Incredibly well organized, each stage is hard, and raced that way (the Canadian’s do not enjoy sitting in or starting slow), the roads are safe, the scenery great, and 4 races in 3 days is just…
