Laura Brown Gold Medal Olympic Track Columbia eats Dr Vie Sports

Laura Brown, Gold Medal Olympic Track Event winner Dec 2009, Columbia.
I am riding for the Total Restoration Cycling Team for the 2010 season. I also train and race on the track as part of the Senior Canadian National Team.

I recently returned from Cali, Colombia for the 3rd World Cup and I just want to say thank-you! Traveling and racing in foreign lands is always challenging for me as I eat mostly animal-free foods and I am also quite sensitive to many other foods.

Your bars were an important component in my ability to perform at the World Cup. They were such a treat as well as nutritious - I love them!

I rode in the team pursuit at the World Cup and we broke the Canadian record twice, set the fastest qualifying time, and won a GOLD medal in the final!!

Thank-you again, Dr. Vie.

Laura Brown


  



A new USA women’s team is emerging from the structure established by the ValueAct Capital Women's Pro Cycling Team. The riders on this team have been charged with a dual mission.  Team VBF will be racing their bikes to win races and raise funds for breast cancer research.  Continued support from Specialized will allow riders to do the first. A partnership with the Vera Bradley Foundation for Breast Cancer has become the catalyst for the second.

The Vera Bradley Foundation was founded in 1998 by the owners of Vera Bradley, manufacturer of stylish quilted cotton handbags, luggage and accessories. To date, the Foundation has contributed $10 million to breast cancer research.  More information about the Foundation is available at their website: www.verabradley.org

 

“We’re honored to be the recipient of the team’s focused efforts to raise funds for breast cancer research,” says Catherine Hill, Executive Director of The Vera Bradley Foundation. “No matter what, it’s already a winning season!”

 

Specialized partnered with ValueAct Capital in 2009 and is back to support the squad in 2010. Team VBF will be outfitted with Specialized bicycles, helmets, eyewear and shoes. The team will race on the Amira -- the newest addition to the Specialized Design for Women bike line. 

 

“Specialized couldn’t be more proud of the team. Their new partnership works great with Specialized initiatives and the team already has an amazing ability to connect with women and their communities. Our goal is to introduce more women to the sport. With the team’s invaluable feedback on our design and geometry of the entire women’s line, they are helping us make riding a better experience,” says Tara Moeller, Specialized USA Marketing Manager.

 

Team VBF riders will lead clinics, group rides and other events at Specialized retailers across the country. The goal of these visits is to identify and alleviate barriers that women say prevent them from getting and staying on bicycles.

 

Like Team VBF, Specialized is committed to addressing issues that confront women both on and off the bike.  Specialized donates a portion of the proceeds from certain products in their women's line to Susan G. Komen and sponsors Race for the Cure events across the country. 

 

Team VBF expects to be about more than fundraising and dealer events.

 

“My goal is to be the number one team in the country, and I truly believe we can accomplish this with the talented group of riders I’ve assembled,” says Team Director Lisa Hunt. 

 

Alison Powers, who achieved the number 1 individual NRC ranking in 2009, adds: “Our team for this year is super strong and well rounded. I’m excited to ride with such a talented group of women who will be able to support and win races for each other – no matter what kind of race it is.”

 

Powers, the 2008 U.S. National Time Trial Champion, has a lofty personal goal. “I want to win every single stage race I enter except for Redlands,” she says.  To accomplish this objective, Powers will rely heavily on her teammates.

 

Returning to race for Team VBF, previously from ValueAct Capital, include team captain Robin Farina, Kristin Sanders and Leah Goldstein. Goldstein is the current Israeli National Champion Road Race and Time Trial Champion. The trio is joined by Canadian National Road Champion Alison Testroete and Oceania Games Time Trial Champion Alexis Rhodes. Rhodes joins the team from Webcor and Testroete returns full-time to the sport after racing part-time in 2009. 

 

Additional riders include Carla Swart, who has won a collegiate national champion in all cycling disciplines and former New Zealand National Team member, Toni Bradshaw. Swart and Bradsahw join Team VBF from Team Lip Smacker. Sprinter Erica Allar won the Cannon Falls Road Race as a guest rider for ValueAct Capital at the Nature Valley Grand Prix stage race and will be the team’s lead sprinter. Newcomers Carrie Cash, formally of Team Revolution, and Lauren Hall join the pro ranks for the first time in 2010. 

 

Additional team sponsors include Champion System, SRAM, Kinetic, LOOK, Michelin, PowerBar, Hudz, Personal Best, Qoleum, Dr. Vie Superfoods and Thule.

 

Team VBF will contest a full-NRC schedule following team camp in Tucson, Arizona in early March. They kick off the race season at the San Dimas Stage Race in mid-March as a tune-up for the Redlands Bicycle Classic. Fundraising efforts for the Vera Bradley Foundation for Breast Cancer begin next week.

Syl had minimal time to acclimatize to the altitude!
'The race went well, but it sure was a challenge to gain 8,000 ft from my current training ground!  I am super happy about my snowshoe racing season. The Vie bars were a tremendous help in my training and racing this year. I was able to handle the heavy training loads partially due to the high quality of my nutrition. Thanks so much for your support and for producing such potent fuel! Syl Corbett

For 2010 Shaun Taylor will be training and racing with Dr. Vie Superfoods nutrition.  Shaun was looking for a high quality and convenient raw superfood supplement and discovered Dr. Vie's line of nutrition foods at the Calgary Community Markets in January 2010. "Training for long hours requires a solid nutritional foundation," says Shaun.  He is the current 24 hour Solo Mountain Bike World Champion in his age category.  In 2010 he will defend his title in Australia at the World Championships. To learn more about the 24 Hours Solo World Mountain Bike Champion click here

While training his way towards Worlds, Shaun will also be racing in the BC Bike Race; he had so much fun doing it last year that he wanted to do it again. BCBR is a 7 consecutive day mountain bike stage race which covers epic days of racing on some of BC’s hardest singletrack. Generally the BCBR race days are shorter than Shaun prefers so for good measure he will be throwing in another 24hr Solo race (or two) into the mix during the summer, along with some 6, 8 and 12hr races. All of his racing and training is focused towards his main priority which is to represent Canada in October at Worlds.

If he’s not on the bike, Shaun stays busy with his coaching business www.ForwardMomentumCoaching.com and he stays even busier looking after his two young boys ages 4 and 6. "I am looking forward to a good 2010 and loving the idea of more Dr. Vie Superfoods," Shaun Taylor.

Evan Guthrie, Kelowna, BC - 'The Dr.VieSports bars have been amazing. They are the first bars that I have liked so much that I want to just whip one out here and there and eat. I love the 3 part bars, makes it easy to eat little bits throughout the ride/race. Both of the bars are great. I am very impressed with the quality and effort put into these bars. It really shows.  At this point I have no requests, the bars are working just perfect!

Thanks alot for the support. You don't realize how much this helps an athlete like myself, and with the bars tasting so great it makes it even better. Thanks again.'

"The unique life experiences I’ve gained by being an elite athlete have shaped who I am.  Extensive travel, full scholarships to Loyola Marymount University and University of Southern California, not qualifying for the Olympics and just recently winning a silver medal at the 13th FINA World Aquatic Championships have all led to personal development in the areas of leadership, self-discipline, goal-setting, perseverance through failure and teamwork"
