Single Track in Sioux Falls


After more than a year The Falls Area Singletrack (FAST) project at Leaders Park is just about out of the incubator. The City's Parks Board approved our proposal and agreed to let it go to the neighborhood for public input.

The Parks Department has a website for the project as well.

Last week FAST held an informational meeting for interested people. I had my usual "what if you throw a party and nobody comes?" anxiety and the bike community showed up with five times my minimum expectation.

Be sure to click on the links to find more information. Especially the one to the FAST Blog. There you will find more information about the project and fundraisers.

Thursday Night Spin


Don’t give up on your cycling this winter. Let Spoke-N-Sport help keep you active. All you need to do is bring down your bike and your trainer. If you don’t have one or want to see how one works, give Kyle a call and he can set you up with one of our loaner trainers. We will provide a towel for you but don’t forget to bring a bottle.

One Hour Record


The day after setting a new Masters World Hour Record at the Home Depot Center velodrome in Carson, CA, Giant Bicycle Inside Sales Representative Keith Ketterer (“KK”) said he was, “a little sore, but totally psyched…and so glad it’s done!” KK set a new World Hour Record in the 50-54 age group, riding 45.386 kilometers – that’s 28.2015 miles – in one hour. The old record was 44.890 kilometers, or 27.8933 miles.

He did it on a 2010 Giant Omnium track bicycle frame constructed from Giant’s ALUXX-SL Grade aluminum and featuring Giant’s Advanced-Grade Composite fork with a full-composite steerer tube. All the components on the bike are from various manufacturers who spec parts on Giant bicycles. “I wanted to involve as many current team sponsors and Giant spec partners as possible, and we succeeded in that,” he said. “In short, my hour bike is an amazing rig. Go to my blog (http://www.kkcountdown.blogspot.com/) and you’ll find a shot of the bike with all the spec details.”

The 53-year old has worked at Giant for almost nine years, and has been named “Inside Sales Rep of the Year” multiple times due to his success at selling the Giant brand. Still, he finds the time to train and compete; he credits Giant and his co-workers with his latest success. “This is Giant’s record as well as mine,” he said. “I burned through all my vacation time training for this, my colleagues on the sales staff filled in for me countless times. This is for Giant as much as for me.”
