Meet our newest Hypercat!

                    

 
This is our first Hypercat Racing newsletter of the summer (ahem, make that autumn). Please excuse our absence...we welcomed a new member to our family on July 2, 2015. Big brother, Giovanni is proud to share that he now has a little sister, Francesca Rio. She weighed in at 6 lbs 14 ounces and was 20 3/4" in length. 

As our family has grown, our shop has evolved, too. Did you know that Hypercat Racing has a "Kids Korner" including balance bikes, youth bikes, helmets, clothing and accessories? Wishbone Design, Cleary Bikes and Fuji, Fondriest are just a few of the brands to check out.

The Kids Korner is also a play area for your child(ren) when you come into the shop. We believe that you can not start too young when it comes to introducing a healthy and fit lifestyle to your kids!

Karin Langer flies at Ironman Wisconsin!



Comfort is key to speed...and aerodynamics help, too! Ask Karin Langer, she rocked Ironman Wisconsin (pictured above) placing 5th for W35-39 in 10:59:58. AWESOME! Karin is a Hypercat Racing bike fit client and member of the Wattie Ink triathlon team. 

As the race season winds down, now is a great time to fine tune your fit. You want to get things dialed before logging your base miles over the coming months. A sub-par fit is evident when you have numbness, pain in the hands, shoulders, neck, back, knees, ankles or feet. These unnecessary discomforts are not a 'normal' part of riding. 

Schedule your bike fit session today!

New Product Spotlight


Maxim Hypotonic Sports Drink
 

Maxim Hypotonic Sports Drink offers a refreshing and great tasting drink with 3 different flavors, including orange & lemon, lemon & lime, and tropical.  

During training or racing, it is important to optimize your fluid balance while ensuring  that glycogen (energy) stores in your muscles and minerals throughout your body do not get depleted.  A fluid loss of 2% of your body weight can reduce your performance by up to 20%. Other effects of dehydration include cramps, headache and overheating. You may also lose glycogen and minerals during training or racing. A depletion of your glycogen stores can reduce your performance by up to 50%. The best remedy is to drink a hypotonic sports drink during training or racing.   Maxim Hypotonic Sports Drink contains the ingredients your body needs to maintain fluid balance, glycogen stores to maximize your performance.
