Cannondale

Select members of the BPR High Performance are proud to be riding bikes supplied by Cannondale.

Watch for these amazing machines to be on display at a number of local and international events.

Bikes being ridden by BPR athletes include:

the Slice; a wickedly fast TT bike, ridden by the top two women at Ironman World Championships, and now by Joel Johnson on his quest to become the world's youngest Ironman Champion. Watch his progress this year at a number of events, including Junior Elite Nationals in Kelowna.

the Scalpel; the cross country MTB that helped Roel Paulissen win World Championships in both 2008 and 2009.

the Super Six; ridden by Stephen Ushy as he works towards his Cat II Classification, after impressive results in the Spring Series events.

These bikes will all be on display at various camps and events this season. Feel free to ask any BPR athlete about their experience with Cannondale. We are sure you will be impressed.

e load™ Sports Drink

There is a tremendous need for a sports drink formulated specifically for the heat – e load™ is that drink! We could say that your sports drink has many important physiological "jobs", but in the heat, the most important job of your sports drink is prevention and control of heat stress, primarily by replacing sweat electrolytes and fluid as they are lost. If electrolyte balance is maintained within, and you supply enough fluid to replace losses (see our Nutrition Calculators) you are well on your way to success in the heat!

EMEND™

Our body is an amazingly complex machine. All of its various cells and tissues communicate with each other, and their activities are precisely coordinated. Even as you sit reading this, your heart pumps blood throughout your body, your intestines digest and absorb nutrients, your kidneys clear waste products and your lungs bring in oxygen. Although you may feel at rest, your body is physiologically quite active. Imagine, then, how much more active all of your body systems become when you engage in active movement. As your physical activity increases, so does your muscle's physiological activity. Active muscles require more nutrients to serve the wide variety of metabolic functions and events.
