Heading up to Pennsylvania for the Trans-Sylvania Epic,
Cesar Grajales tried to prepare the rest of the Stradalli Cycle racers for what
they can expect. Grajales is a veteran of the TSEpic and other stage races and
wanted to make sure his team knew what to expect as they prepared to race every
day for a week in some of the most beautiful but challenging trails in North
America. After a couple of days of racing, it’s been a tough challenge but they
guys have all loved the experience.
“Cesar really helped a lot getting us prepared. When you get
done with a race you are ready to relax and take it easy, but not here. You
have to get ready for the next day, clean your bike and your gear, make sure it
is ready to go, watch what you eat and stay hydrated. It’s very humid and hot
up here right now but thankfully racing in Florida all the time helps prepare
us for that. The trails are really rocky with bigger hills than we see back
home and you have to be focused the entire time you are riding because you don’t
want to make a mistake.” Bob McCarty
Also racing in the Trans-Sylvania Epic this year is Stradalli
Cycle CEO Tom Steinbacher who was very impressed with the course so far and
said everyone was having a great time. “It’s a lot of great people and great
racing. Everyone is having fun and the trails are very challenging but that’s
also part of the fun. It’s great to interact with mountain bikers from
different parts of the country who come here each year. People have been asking
questions about our mountain bikes and checking them out because they see how
well they are handling these trails. It should be an interesting week of
racing.”
