Stradalli – Cycle professional ambassador and reigning Florida State Mountain Bike Champion Doug Deweese is now in off season, but Deweese is stronger than ever and is training diligently to prepare for the upcoming Florida Mountain Bike Series Racing.

Deweese splits his time between training on the mountain bike and on the road bike to ensure he has the best fitness and the best skills to compete at the top level. Deweese currently rides the 29er Full Suspension Frame and the Aversa Carbon Road Frame.

Competing in a way that Deweese does requires serious dedication to training. For his off season training, Deweese has been taking his Aversa out on the road for rides as long as 170 miles.

The Aversa is used by the Stradalli – Bike Aid European Continental Team for long stage races due to its performance in a variety of conditions. Deweese said the Aversa lets him train as long and as often as the European professionals because of its performance.

“I love my Aversa road frame. It has the right amount of stiffness to put big power to the ground, but it is still compliant enough to put in long, long training rides and enjoy every mile of it. It is tough competing at the top level, but the Aversa allows my training to go smoothly.” Deweese said.

The Bill Bone Pro-Am Florida Series races continued this past weekend at the Brooksville Cycling Classic. The Stradalli - Safetti Team split this weekend to cover multiple races, but Stradalli Cycles were still out in force at the Brooksville Cycling Classic thanks to the Stradalli - Wizard Development Team.

Justin Pfaff, star rider for Stradalli - Wizard, added another win on Saturday to his track record for 2016 in the Pro/1/2 Brooksville Criterium. Pfaff has won several races this year and placed top 10 in his first USA Criterium Series race.

Pfaff followed up his Saturday criterium win with another win in the Brooksville Road Race. The Brooksville Road Race is notoriously windy and hilly. Pfaff is now has 4 wins in two weekends of racing and 5 total wins in 2016 on top of multiple podium finishes.

Pfaff is the reigning U23 Florida Time Trial and Criterium Champion and has done it all riding in the orange and black colours of Stradalli – Wizard Racing. Pfaff currently rides the Stradalli R7 and is currently the leader of the Bill Bone Pro-Am Florida Series.
