What The Real Pro's Ride

There are pro riders and there are real pro riders.

Pro riders are paid to ride. They get extra special treatment. They are fast, make no mistake about it. They get to live a sort of deluxe existence...training and racing for a living.

Real pro riders don't get paid to ride (or at least not much). They have jobs, school, or family to take care of. They fit their training into the rest of their lives, not the rest of their lives into their training. And make no mistake about these guys either...they are really fast too.

Salsa is fortunate to have two 'real pro's' riding for us: Jeff Hall and Andrew Freye.

This isn't to say that top pro riders don't work hard. I'm just saying that they don't have to work as hard as real pro riders, like Jeff and Andrew.

So, what does a real pro rider ride?

Check out this Andrew Freye's El Santo race bike here. It is a great explanation of how a real pro decides what to race.

And keep your eyes peeled for Jeff and Andrew this season as they hit the national circuit and key regional races. Give 'em some encouragement to keep after their goals, because they are the ones coming back to their day jobs after a hard weekend of racing.

Thanks,
Kid
