New pro triathlete signs with Reynolds to compete on AERO wheels

Sandy, Utah. – March 10, 2015 – Reynolds Cycling will add Rachel McBride to its Triathlete roster for 2015. This year marks McBride’s first year competing in the pro category, starting with the Wildflower Triathlon, in Lake San Antonio, California on May 2.

“Rachel McBride has had an extremely successful amateur career in Tri and we are so excited to sign her on as she continues her momentum and competes in the pro category this season,” said Rob Aguero, Marketing Manager at Reynolds Cycling. “In addition to being a phenomenal triathlete, Rachel is also an extremely fast cyclist, so choosing her as an up and coming pro was an easy decision.”

Rachel McBride, originally from Tacoma, Wash., currently lives and trains in Vancouver, British Columbia where she is coached by Bjoern Ossenbrink. Following her first triathlon in 2006, McBride has had a very successful amateur career including 10 first place finishes, the overall course record at the Calgary Ironman 70.3 and numerous fastest bike splits.

McBride will ride even faster in the 2015 season having just spent time testing and validating Reynolds AERO wheels in the Faster wind tunnel. Switching to the AERO wheels with Reynolds’ patented Dispersive Effect Termination technology and optimizing her position yielded an immediate drop in watt drag numbers. Outside the wind tunnel, her new AERO wheels will not only give her an aerodynamic edge, but also a handling advantage on the open road. The AERO wheels are the least side-force-affected wheels available in crosswind conditions, making for a smooth, fast ride.
