Meet Shelley Olds
This weekend is Tulsa Tough. If you don't know what that is, click the link because it's worth going to.This Saturday is a very special day at the DoubleShot because our own Shelley Olds will be here from San Francisco. She's a pro cyclist and will be racing in the criterium races this weekend. She has volunteered to come to the DoubleShot on Saturday at 1p to meet our customers and talk a little about pro cycling and Tulsa Tough. She can't stick around too long though because she races at 4 o'clock in the Brady District. And you can be sure we'll head that way to cheer for Shelley as she out-sprints the field for another victory.
Lest you think Shelley is just some girl who rides a bike, she was the only female from the U.S. to be invited to the World Track Championships this year in the Netherlands. She's won numerous races and excelled in a short amount of time on the bike. And her next big thing is that she's been invited to race in this year's Giro d'Italia. To be honest I don't follow bike racing other than Shelley, but she tells me this is the toughest stage race in the world. The women's race is July 3-12. The mens' race is going on right now.
Shelley races for a team called Proman. She has a minor sponsorship from the DoubleShot, so she'll be warming up under our new tent. And her fiance, Rob Evans, will be racing in the DoubleShot jersey!
Ok, details one more time.

Shelley finished 5th last night. She looked good and felt like she could've won, but just couldn't get in position. So she seemed disappointed. But she'll tear it up today in the Brady District.
Shelley is racing with two Proman girls, Cari and Rachel. Cari is a regular on the team and Rachel is from Australia, guest riding with the Proman Hit Squad. Cari and Rachel will also be down here at 1p, so you get three times the pleasure.
Rob, Shelley's fiance, raced in the Cat 1/2 race last night and picked up a $250 prime, so he was pretty excited.
Don't miss it today. If you've never seen pros ride, you'll want to head to the Brady District. I'm amazed every year that I watch the Tulsa Tough. It's fun to watch people do things they're REALLY good at.
