October 27, 2010 (Burnaby, BC) – Hi Everyone, my name is Nathan MacDonald, and I have spent the last four years racing for Trek Red Truck Racing. I am also nearing the completion of my Kinesiology major, and am undertaking a project that is based on a British Medical Journal’s study.

I am studying cyclists femur lengths, to determine if the riders’ strengths can be determined from their femur length (ie. Sprinter, Time trialist, etc.). The measurements should take less than five minutes to complete (a height, leg -trochanterion- and lower leg -tibiale laterale- length measurement). We are looking for male cyclists of all ability, and we will be at the track on Wednesday November 3rd from 5:30 until 10pm and Friday November 5th from 6:30 until 10pm.

I would greatly appreciate if you can spare a few minutes for my study,

Sincerely,
Nathan MacDonald
