2014 Team Kit

With our 2014 team roster officially announced and the Grant's Tomb Criterium looming on the horizon as the first major race of the season, we're pleased to release our 2014 Louis Garneau kit design. Reflecting our view of quality over quantity when it comes to sponsorship, team title sponsors Sixcycle and RK&O retain primary visibility and are joined by new sponsors Davey's Ice Cream and Health Warrior. The 2014 kit will once again be manufactured by Louis Garneau and will come in several new formats, most notably the Course Skinsuit, which will be paired with the best looking aero helmet on the market today, the Louis Garneau Course Helmet.

Health Warrior learned about the power of Chia while reading the best selling book Born to Run, about the Tarahumara Indians and their jaw-dropping long distance runs. They looked into it further and discovered Chia is one of the most nutrient dense foods on the planet. The founders started eating Chia every day and were working out harder, lifting heavier, and running further and faster. After that, Health Warrior was born.

Health Warrior is dedicated to vetting the worlds growers for the highest quality Chia and helping people conquer the many challenges of their everyday lives. Health Warrior provides Chia in flavored bars as well as loose seeds.
