Conrad Stoltz
Proving that the reward for a job well done is more work, Conrad pulls double-duty as both a triathlete and member of the Specialized Factory Racing Team.
A Triathlete since 1988, Conrad's career has spanned the globe in steady pursuit of his dream to become the world's best. Originally from Stellenbosch, South Africa, over the years Conrad has developed both a tremendous work ethic and one of the sport's most impressive resumes.
He's currently based out of Bend, Oregon an area famous for its sporty atmosphere, good weather, altitude, a multitude of excellent training options, and great fly fishing; something Conrad enjoys when he is not training. His current weekly schedule includes 25 km's of swimming, 10 hours in the saddle, 5 hours running, and 2 hours in the gym.
The Best Bike Shop In Bend
August 31, 2009During our recent training camp in Bend, OR, I had some bike trouble. I took my bike to Hutch's Bicycles in Bend's West side. Despite their wild skills, they couldnt save my ride. I did something Caveman-esque to my mountain bike, (which, this time, not even duct tape or a tightly wound tube could fix) and had to resort to road riding that day.
The next day I borrowed a friends' 5' trail bike and Amber and I were going to ride the epic Flagline. Straight out the driveway Ambers cranks on her S-works Era almost fell off. Turns out her mechanic (also happens to be a certain "Caveman") didnt install ALL the parts required for BB assembly. I towed her to Hutch's. As usaul, he guys were great. They didnt even make too much fun of my wild wrenching skills! They fixed her BB pronto, and when we picked the bike up a little later, I noticed they even replaced the cables and housing. Seems like the Caveman also neglected to install those plastic end cap things that goes at the ends of cable housing...
We had a phenomenal ride, thanks to the cool crew at Hutch's.
When riding the trails in Central Oregon, be sure to visit them. They also rent all kind of Specialized bikes. www.hutchsbicycles.com
