High Road presented the team today in Cala Serena, Mallorca. I’ve been fortunate enough to be here for the event and to get a firsthand look at the hours and hours myself and High Road have put into this new look. I must say, I wasn’t sure what the reception would be or how the final design would translate to fabric. I had a good idea and I was feeling pretty good about what we had come up with, but there’s always that question in the back of your mind as to whether or not you’ve been able to pull it off. I think we did. It looks great and I think it’s really going to turn some heads this season. 

Here are a few quick from my point and shoot digital. There was a good representation of media there and I’m sure you’ll see quite a few good shots from the presentation and the press ride that followed. The kits look even better on the road. 

As for the riding, I’ve been able to get in a few good ones already. I rode on Friday with four German guys, two of whom you may have heard of: Andreas Klöden and Danilo Hondo. Pretty cool. We rode 4.5 hours at an easy pace through the countryside south and east of Palma. After our coffee break, we had a brief hail storm (ouch), but other than that the weather was decent – cool and only some wet roads. 

Today was beautiful here. It was the first day of full sun and the timing was great for the team presentation and the press shoot of the team on the road. I tagged along on the bike during the team ride and added a little more afterwards to take advantage of the beautiful day.

Looks like the weather here is going to stay nice, so more photos and lots more riding to come.

Cheers.
