Spring has sprung, and our members have been taking advantage of the beautiful weather by participating in various competitive events, including swimming, biking, and running - oh Tri! Here's some highlights!

• 4/2-4/3: Erin Shelton participated in The Gorge Roubaix in The Dalles, Oregon. She raced strong both days, the only woman representing Boise, taking 7th of 24 and 5th of 11 for Cat 4 women. 
• 4/3: Tiedji Baker ran the Boise Spring Runs 10k placing 3rd overall!

Since we like to race our bikes we signed up for another bike race to race our bikes! With bike racing comes one of our favorite activities: eating! The Digestive Health Clinic Boise VeloWomen (BVW) kicked off another race weekend with food, friends and fun. We hosted a potato bar (yes to carb-loading!) and got the opportunity to talk about one of our awesome sponsors, Kali Protectives. Our local Kali Representative, Justin, joined us via Skype to talk to us about the Kali company, how our helmets work, the physiology of head injuries and how our helmet not only looks cool, but keeps our heads and brains safe. These helmets are top of the line and are proven to reduce both concussions and rotational force in a crash, while boasting a much lighter and smaller fit. They also have more ventilation, which will come in handy when those 100+ degree days begin (only about 4 months away!). We love our sponsors... our helmets... and racing our bikes... and food.
