U.S. Built Custom Bicycles in Titanium and Titanium-Carbon Mix
Words & Photos by Natalia Boltukhova | Pedal Power Photography
Issue #14 of Cyclocross Magazine included a multi-page spread featuring some Seven bikes outfitted as randonneurs, and highlighting the riding and endurance skills of Matt Roy, David Wilcox, and John Bayley as they conquered the Green Mountain Double Century. Natalia Boltukhova of Pedal Power Photography captured some incredible images of these guys at every step of this grueling race, and she also wrote many tongue-in-cheek captions that, along with her photos, provide a vivid picture of that epic day. In the competitors' own words, it was: "Insane. Nuts. Brutal. Inhumane."
A little bit about the bikes:
Matt Roy had this to say about his experience on the Axiom SL Randonneur bike that day:
�The Axiom SL Rando project bike was great… I beat the living hell out of it. I wore through a set of brake pads in the first 100 miles. I can't believe it showed up on my porch on Thursday morning and I put it through ungodly conditions less than 48 hours later. It handled amazingly well, climbed great, descended great, felt great!�
Read on to get the full stats of the race, including calories consumed and burned, feet ascended, and number of brake pads replaced, and to see the gallery of Natalia�s beautiful photographs.
