For immediate release
Fort Collins, CO
4/21/2014
In the lee of last fall’s perfect storm, fortuitous circumstances led to the formation of Fort Collins’ newest cycling team and social club. Seeking a return to grassroots racing as part of the re-launch of its Factory Team, Trek Bicycle found willing partners in Archie Solsky, longtime owner of FoCo’s favorite bike shop--Lee’s Cyclery--and a group of friends committed to training hard, giving back to the community, and having the most fun along the way. Lee’s Cyclery-Trek Factory Racing, one of ten Trek-sponsored teams in the country, features new as well as experienced Senior and Master’s (read “Old”) level racers across several categories and disciplines, including road, mountain, XTERRA, and triathlon. Ambassadors on and professionals off the bike, team members fully embrace the Choice City’s renowned ethic: work hard, play harder, and make your family, friends, and neighbors proud. Volunteerism and mentorship are part of the program, as is the backyard barbeque. In addition to title sponsors Lee’s Cyclery and Trek, the team enjoys generous support from local institutions, such as Café Vino and Ehrlich Volkswagen, Flood & Peterson, and healthcare providers Blue Sky Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery, Windsor Eye Care & Vision Center, ProSmile, and Jonathan L. Nelson D.D.S.

As mentioned before, the structural components of the body are made out of proteins. There are certain cells or tissues in the body that make proteins very rapidly, and there are others that do so more slowly. Skeletal muscle is actually on the slower side of the spectrum. However, since skeletal muscle is such a large tissue (roughly 40% of body weight), it is quantitatively the most important site of protein turnover (making and breaking down of protein). In the sport of cycling, skeletal muscle is what propels the bike. Thus, having a good understanding of how to maintain skeletal muscle proteins, and keep them in a good state, is important for cycling performance. In this column, I will talk a little bit about what builds up and breaks down protein and some strategies to potentially help that.
