Back from Denver!

My trip to Denver was awesome! The only bad thing about it was that it was too short...

It was great to meet the guys at Retul. They all have really interesting backgrounds and they are really fun to work with (and they encouraged me to drink lots of coffee... most people cut me off after a couple of cups ;). I learned a lot in a few different fields, not only bike fitting. As a special bonus, Allen Lim, the physiologist for Chipotle Slipstream pro cycling team was there also to pick up his Retul system before he heads over to Europe.

The Retul fit studio is a pretty cool set up and it really made me want to have a bigger space... I wonder how I can make that happen?

It is very important that there is consistency among fitters with where the markers are placed, so Todd showed me exactly where to place the markers during the first bike fit of the day. Apparently I was the first one to place them correctly the first time. My anatomy and physiology prof would would have been proud... :)

I got some great tips on how to use the system to its full potential, bike fitting, marketing and had lots of fun in the process. Todd, Cliff and Franko - thanks for having me and saring your knowledge with me :)
