CXmas Junior Fund Sends Four Oregon Juniors to Nationals!

Bart — Thu, 25 Oct 2012 19:35:32 +0000

Congratulations to our four CXmas Junior Fund recipients who competed in the 2012 US National Cyclocross Championships! Gabrielle Lehnert, in only her first year racing ‘cross, was sixth in the Junior Women’s 10-12 race. Sam Rosenberg and Lance Haidet placed 9th and 16th respectively in the Junior Men’s 15-16 race, and Donovan Birky placed 18th in the Junior Men’s 13-14 race.

Thank you for helping us raise money in 2012 for the CXmas Junior Fund! Because of your generosity, we were able to help these four Oregon juniors travel to Madison, Wis., for nationals. Read more about these promising young athletes here.

The CXmas Party on December 6 raised more than $2,500, and combined with the proceeds from our September Future Cross cyclocross race, meant we were able to award four $800 stipends to deserving–and grateful–junior racers.

We are so incredibly grateful to the cycling community–near and far–for its support of the CXmas Party. It takes an entire community to grow junior talent, and we couldn’t do it without you:

Abbey Bike Works, Action Dynamix, Adam Craig, Barry Wicks, Blazing Saddles, Brian Nelson, Carl Decker, Central Oregon Rolfing, Clement Cycling, Chris Horner, Chris Jones, Crows Feet Commons, Cyclocross Magazine, Elliston Coaching, Feather’s Edge Finery, Geoff Kabush, GoodLife Brewing, Ken Simms, Les Deux Amis Bakery, Mark DeJohn, Mark Reinecke, Matthew Lasala, Pine Mountain Sports, Rapha, Rob Kerr, Silverado Jewelry Gallery, Sunnyside Sports, Susan and John Keys, Tim Johnson, Todd Wells, US Gran Prix of Cyclocross, Webcyclery.com and Whit Bazemore.

Thank you, GoodLife Brewing, for supplying your award-winning craft beer!

Class Schedule Expanding for Winter

Bart — Wed, 24 Oct 2012 18:08:32 +0000

We have expanded our Winter class schedule at Powered by Bowen. With shorter days and cooler, wetter weather, you have lots of indoor options for cycling and strength training.

Find out why many of our clients are regulars in our Indoor Cycling Class. With morning, midday, evening and weekend classes available, you’re sure to find times that easily fit into your busy schedule. Our Indoor Cycling Classes are customized for you based on your personal power output, so you get an individualized workout in a fun group setting.

One of the best kept secrets for improving cycling and running performance is core and functional strength. Our 30 Minute Core Classes are conveniently scheduled to piggyback with our Indoor Cycling Classes so that in 90 minutes you can get some valuable core work in along with your aerobic training.

Our Body Power + class is an incredible workout that improves overall functional strength, giving you more control, efficiency and power in your sport. Incorporating body weight strength training along with fast movements like box jumps, Bart will give you an hour of power guaranteed to make you faster and stronger.

We all know gentle stretching helps us recover and stay injury free, but sometimes have a difficult time making it a regular part of our routine. Our RPM Yoga class is specifically tailored to busy athletes who don’t need an hour of strength poses. This 60-minute restorative class is only $5 (or 5 points on your Power Pass). RPM Yoga will help you maintain and Restore Proper Movement efficiently and affordably.

Easy Nutrition for Long Workouts with Carbo-Pro

Bart — Tue, 10 Jul 2012 22:12:39 +0000

We now carry Carbo-Pro at Powered by Bowen. We love Carbo-Pro for its ease-of-use and effectiveness in delivering carbs during a long workout or race without having to open a packet or chew something. Carbo-Pro is flavorless and mixes easily with any sports drink, or even water, to deliver 28 grams of carbohydrates per ounce.

Additionally, Carbo-Pro is formulated to be easily digested without gastric distress, and doesn’t pull fluids into the gut, which can lead to dehydration. Carbo-Pro is a great way to refuel during a long ride or run, and for athletes who have a difficult time eating properly before their race, it can be used to boost energy preemptively. It can also be used as a recovery drink.

We carry two-pound bags of Carbo-Pro for $22.

RPM Yoga for Athletes

Bart — Sat, 21 Jan 2012 23:58:21 +0000

RPM stands for Restore Proper Movement. Even if you’ve tried yoga before and haven’t stayed with it–either because it was too time consuming or because it incorporated too many strength poses and left you sore–we created RPM Yoga especially for Powered by Bowen clients. This is not yoga for strength, but restorative yoga for active recovery. And, it’s only 30 minutes long, so you can do the stretching you know you need to do without committing a lot of time to your already busy schedule.

RPM Yoga is taught by multisport athlete Shellie Heggenberger, and is tailored for runners, cyclists and triathletes. RPM Yoga is only 5 points on your Power Pass. Sign up online or call us at 541.585.1500.

Class Time:

Monday – 5 p.m.
