Angie Across America is proud to be generously supported by Infinium Robotics, an industry leader specializing in drone solutions in GPS-denied environmentsand indoors. Infinium Robotics is revolutionizing commercial industries with the use of aerial robotics. The aerial shot in my video was performed by the good people in Infinium Robotics who has already established their presence in the United States and Asia.
I'm extremely privileged to have Colin Batchelor from Total Cycle Coach provide me with in-depth cycling analysis and training from now till June 2014, as I undertake my first ultra endurance road cycling event. My aim is to get stronger and fitter, and Colin has been absolutely instrumental in transforming this aerobic engine of mine into a lean, mean cycling machine to tackle this brutal yet spectacular cross country ride. A British Cycling Level 3 coach, Colin demonstrates tremendous wisdom, understanding, patience and insight into the unique challenges I face as a triathlete-turned-cyclist.
Words can't explain how very proud I am to be sponsored by Voler, a premier cycling apparel company hailing from Southern California, USA. All its apparels are made in the USA (not outsourced to other countries) - you can only imagine the quality of the apparel, which is impeccable. The fabric is soft on the skin yet durable. They are extremely comfortable and allows for easy skin breathing. Voler caters to full custom and semi custom cycling apparel, both of which are easily designed and managed from their online platform. More importantly, the team in Voler truly cares about people - their customer service is world class. A special shout out to its eCommerce Director Aaron Barker and eCommerce Project Coordinator Wayne Lance who are extremely helpful, patient and gracious and for going out of their way to ensure that I have everything I need. What does it take to produce first class cycling apparel and excellent customer service? Well, ask Voler - they totally got it right.
Am proud to be sponsored by Apidura, an innovative solution to bike packing - rackless packing system! No more racks and panniers that add up the weight and complexity of packing your essentials for multi-day rides. I'm a big fan of hassle-free travels, so having a large enough and easy-to-setup storage system for my cycling gear, clothes, spare tubes, repair kit and food is paramount to me - and I'm glad Apidura does just that. But more so, the founders are passionate cyclists themselves, so Apidura was birthed out of a heart for fellow cyclists who take it to the road for days and months on end. Apidura was created with the endurance cyclist in mind. Which is why I love it to bits! ;)
As an endurance athlete, the biggest deal breaker during training and racing is hydration - lose of hydration causes a major lose of power. Before discovering Osmo Nutrition, I struggled in my training - I trained hard but never quite see the improvement I needed. I searched for a solution and found Osmo - developed by credible researchers and scholars who worked with elite triathletes, cyclists and endurance athletes, the founder herself being a triathlete and a researcher in Stanford University (Dr Stacy Sims), I've experienced my biggest breakthroughs in hydration and enhanced power during and post training.
Looking to raise funds for your next project? Kickstarter or Indiegogo aren't the only way to go. Both have their limitations that I've personally encountered when I first crowdfunded Angie Across America on Kickstarter. Ignition Deck is the ultimate crowdfunding platform where you retain full control over the funds and time period, at a fraction of the cost. Kickstarter charges 5% for successful pledges, Indiegogo charges 4% for successful pledges or 9% for partial pledges, while Ignition Deck costs as low as $79 to get started. Best of all, the customer service is unbeatable - I got my crowdfunding started and sustained with the incredible help of Nathan Hangen and Shawn Christenson, founders of Ignition Deck.
Spitfire Athlete is the brainchild of two brilliantly smart and savvy young ladies, Erin Parker and Nidhi Kulkarni. Graduates of Stanford University and MIT respectively, these girls put their heads and passion together to develop an app that provides strength training programs specially for women. The most impressive detail about these ladies? They're both coders/programmers, on top of being awesome designers and athletes themselves. I can't say enough how impressed I am with them, and am honored to know them both.
I'm proud to be a brand ambassador for Dryrobe, an outdoor change robe from the UK. Now, why Dryrobe for a bike ride across America? Well, because more than an endurance cyclist, I'm a triathlete, and living in the San Francisco Bay Area where the open waters are freezing cold, I can't thank Dryrobe enough for keeping me warm in my endless pursuit of more adventures, be it in the water, on two wheels or on two legs.
