Racing Bikes in the Mountains of Montana

July 23rd and 24th will likely be the best weekend of your summer if you’re able to make it to Missoula, MT for the Missoula Pro XCT Mountain Bike Race.

Sam Schultz Missoula Boy

Sam Schultz is the local hero and the favorite for this race. He'll have his work cutout battling the local lunatics (seen here 2nd and 3rd in line behind Sam) as well as the rest of the pro field.

The venue is perfectly nestled just a couples miles from the center of the universe (right of center) at an old ma and pa ski area that most of the Cycling House staff grew up night skiing at.  There will be great local beer, awesome live music, die hard fans, tasty local food and the attendance of the best professional riders in the US. This is the National Pro XCT Series Finals! If  you want to learn more about this event then check out this link.

Andy Schultz will be happy to race on the dirt that he rolled in as a youngster

Linsey Corbin Tri Camp is Underway!

Pro Triathletes Linsey Corbin and Brendan Halpin are hosting an epic triathlon camp at The Cycling House in Tucson, AZ. There has been an added element of character building at this camp due to record lows here in Southern Arizona.  That being said, we have an amazing group of campers and their upbeat attitudes are incredible!

Linsey Corbin is fresh off her latest  70.3 win in Pucon, Chile. She’s a fellow Montanan and close friends with the crew at The Cycling House.  Brendan just PR’d with a time of 2:38 at the Rock n Roll Marathon in Phoenix, AZ!

Both Brendan and Linsey started racing triathlons together while going to school at the University of Montana. Ever since then their friendship has grown as well as their success in the sport.
