Drew Edsall: Pro Cyclist & Coach
"The month of April has been full of surprises. The weather here in St. Louis, MO has been relentless. More and more cold fronts just seem to keep on coming through. Hopefully this will end soon. On a positive note, I headed out to Monterey, CA for the Sea Otter Classic mid April. Had an awesome time meeting back up with the team and talking with our sponsors. We even got to ride a mechanical bull over at the Kenda tent. Mitch took the top honors in that with a 40+ second ride. The weather was perfect. Unfortunately I got caught up in another mass start crash 50 yards into the XC race. I played catch up, and picked off plenty of riders but not enough to meet my goal in terms of placement. That's racing! Next up is my chance to defend my title at the Syllamos 125k NUE race in a few weeks along with TSE stage race which I am really looking forward to. On top of that I have a few things going on here in St. Louis including a clinic/ride next week with some of the local riders and junior racers, and the State XC Championships the following weekend out on some great trails."

This last year I wanted to take things to the highest level possible. Wobble Naught has helped a lot with that. Not only do they fit you to your bike, but they help develop the best and most efficient pedal stroke on the market. The product is awesome and is backed by scientific data. An easy way to get faster on the bike. Click the logo or the following link to find out more: Wobble Naught
In the off-season, I not only head to Florida to race but I also work for my family's orange business. Around Christmas I trade in the bike for a fork lift. I also manage a team of employees. Honestly, we have the freshest citrus around. And if you're looking for a great gift for a friend or family member this holiday season, send them a Sun Harvest Citrus fresh fruit basket.
