What a not-so-casual Wednesday ride! For the third year running, Tejay van Garderen rolled back into town — this time between broadcast duties with NBC's Tour de France coverage — and brought fellow ex-pro Brent Bookwalter along for the ride. What started as a quiet visit quickly became an unexpected party, with our clients, friends, and local cycling community turning out to share the road with two of the sport's true names.
RIDING WITH LEGENDS: TEJAY VAN GARDEREN & BRENT BOOKWALTER
Great Company, Great Roads
Cycling has a way of levelling the field. Whether you're a Tour veteran or a Wednesday regular, once you clip in, everyone shares the same road, the same conversation, the same climbs. What made this ride truly special wasn’t just who was leading the group—it was having the opportunity to share the experience with our clients, friends, and local cycling community. Those are the moments that remind us why we ride.
ENVE helped to outfit Tejay's road bike which made his visit even more special.
Miles, Stories, and a Few PRs
Riders returned with more than just good memories — plenty walked away with new PRs, and one or two QOMs and KOMs to boast about. A huge thank you to our staff for pulling the day together, and to our community for carving time out of a busy week to be part of it. Special thanks also to our photographer, Andrea Carson, for capturing every moment on film — more of those images are coming soon.
