There are TWO Ellers on Raise the Bar's team, and they are married to each other. Brad and Erica. Here they are with their TWO boys, Nathan and Isaiah. This picture is a little dated - it's TWO years old..but it's cute so we used it anyway.
Brad and Erica need to buy TWO bikes, TWO Time Trial Bikes, TO be exact, which was proven at their last race, where the TWO of them raced TOgether - the Federal Escape. The Federal Escape offers TWO distances -the Olympic goes first and the Sprint goes 2nd. Guess which one the Ellers picked.
So back TO the bike
deal. Raise the Bar has a fleet of very slick fast Time Trial bikes that our team members can cheaply rent to race or train on, and the Ellers snagged TWO of them for the Federal Escape. They are Felt S22's.
After they each executed great swims, they headed out for the 2nd leg of the race, which is a TWO loop course. They were magnificent. Finishing off with TWO very good runs, they crossed the finish line and each placed.....you guessed it SECOND. #2 man overall, and #2 woman overall.
What does this mean, you ask? I have no idea....Except that it's pretty neat. The Ellers work really hard and it's neat that they got such a cool result on such cool bikes on a cool day.
Just in case there's something to all those numbers, though, and assuming they want to come in 1st, maybe the bikes they buy should be something besides S22's.
