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.

"Riding with champions", Northern California High School league & Specialized.

April 14, 2009

Northern California has a booming High School racing programme. It is run a by a non profit organization and Specialized enthusiastically pitched in with a huge truckload of demo bikes for the kids to try out, and 3 World Champions on loan. Hence “Riding with the Champions.” Ned Overend, Rebecca Rusch and myself.

The kids could choose between the Specialized Epic, Stumpjumper, Stumpjumper 29er and the Enduro.  The Specialized mechanic set the kids up on bikes, adjusted the suspension for each one, then we had a safety briefing before setting off into the beautiful Paolo Alto Redwood hills. Great riding. Was really cool to see the excited kids, their enthusiasm brings back fond memories of my days a rabid bike geek teenager.

Stats for Conrad Stoltz are coming soon.
