We found an early Christmas gift under the RICH’S RIDE Christmas tree. One of our amazing sponsors, Top End Handcycles, hooked us up with a spiffy new set of high-tech wheels.
Spinergy wheels are some of the best cycle wheels available. The carbon fiber rims are super light, and the whole system reduces rolling resistance and increases comfort. In short, they’re fast and kinda cool-looking, too.
They’re also really pricey, the kind of purchase we’d never make without the generous sponsorship of the folks at Top End. You might recall that they helped us in 2011 with the purchase of our cool yellow handcycle. That bike’s traveled more than 10,000 miles, and we’re grateful for continued support as we move into new adventures in 2014.
Top End designs and builds the best handcycles and adaptive sports chairs in the world. They sponsor an incredible team of competitive athletes, including a long list of Olympic Medalists and World Champions.
They also do a lot to help everyday athletes obtain and use their equipment. I’m grateful they decided to support our crazy project.
I’m excited to see these cool new wheels on my bike. That’ll happen in a few weeks when we embark on our next ride.
For now I’m anchored to the trainer in the garage—lots of miles, but the view never changes.
