History

Established in 2004.

It All Began With a Dog Named BUC

When Robert was a coach with no clients, Buc took a chance and hired him as a coach. He was a faithful client, you could even say a coach’s best friend, running and swimming together, but not cycling. They searched for a bike that could fit Buc, but none were small enough to allow his hind legs to reach the pedals. Besides, steering with paws is really hard, and don’t even ask about shifting gears. Nevertheless, Buc quickly became obsessed with training and he began to spread the word to his pack of friends. Soon, people were coming to Robert to get in shape for triathlons and marathons, and Terrier Tri was born!
