Living in Colorado has its perks. This is the Hollywood of cycling! I was sitting on pins and needles over the last few weeks as I was lining up an opportunity to work with the great up-and-comer of professional cycling, Danny Summerhill.
Well, guess what?
Danny joins Cycling Videos Online to add his insights, wisdom and adventures as a pro cyclist in the newest release, "Muscle Breakdown, The Gran Fondo Moab, Utah!"
With his teammates, Christian Vande Velde and Dave Zabriske, Danny raced against the elite of the elite:
- Andy Schleck
- Levi Leiphiemer
- Cadel Evans
- TeJay VanGarderen
- George Hincapie and more
|
During the 2011 Tour of Utah and the 2011 USA Pro Cycling Challenge. Danny helped team Garmin-Cervelo to the overall best team at the USA Pro and helped catapult Christian Vande Velde to a second place finish overall. Danny took a 4th place finish at the closing stage in Denver Colorado and went over Independence Pass, stage 2 (12,095ft) ahead of Andy Schleck! Danny is a young rider, so, no doubt we'll be seeing more of him to come.
Muscle Breakdown, Gran Fondo, Moab Utah has it all:
- Brutal efforts
- pelotons and pacelines
- sprints
- climbs
- and truly magnificent scenery
Hosted by the world famous Poison Spider Bicycles in Moab Utah, this 4 hour adventure tours the stunning canyon lands of Moab in an exciting race paced bike ride. Danny joins us in adding an exclusive workout interview that we recorded while on our trainers for 3.5 hours. It was snowing outside, but, we were dripping with sweat on the inside. With Danny looking over my shoulder and at my Power Tap, I worked so hard, I had to fight off the cramps! I guess this is what I get for riding alongside with a pro :)
This ride will beat you up; but, I guarantee that you will want to finish the entire tour in one sitting; it's that much fun! |
