About Us

Tri Town Bicycles began in 2011, when two endurance coaches opened a small shop in Boise with a simple goal — to support the growing community of triathletes who shared our passion for endurance sports.

As the years passed, we discovered that the same attention to detail and commitment to quality that serve triathletes so well also resonate with all cyclists.

Boise has become one of the country's great outdoor towns, surrounded by beautiful roads, trails, mountains, and lakes, and we're grateful to play a part in helping our community embrace endurance sports.

OUR PURPOSE

We provide world-class products and services for the inspired endurance athlete.

OUR CORE VALUES

Continuous improvement: We constantly improve our business, systems, and services.

Attack complexity: We break down challenges into simple, actionable solutions.

Think like an athlete: We balance technique, power, and efficiency in everything we do.

Be quick, but don't hurry: We move fast without sacrificing quality.

Build and serve the community: We exist to uplift our community and our team.

Honesty, no matter what: Honesty keeps business and life simple.

OUR TEAM

He is a founding member of the BSU Triathlon Club, a professional bike fitter, a multi-disciplinary coach certified by USAT and NICA, and a professional mechanic.

Dominique Clifford (Sales)

Dominique Clifford

Dom is the multitasking powerhouse who somehow keeps Tri Town running like a well-oiled bike chain. She can keep the staff on task, order new gear, fit you for a wetsuit, drive you to the airport, and magically produce an extra pair of goggles for your open water swim... all before noon.

A lifelong athlete, Dom's background is in swimming and soccer. After years of youth and collegiate soccer, she settled down to start a family. When her daughter, Bailey, caught the swimming bug, it reignited Dom's love for the sport. Once Bailey dove into triathlon, Dom followed suit (pun intended) and became the resident expert on all things open water.
 
These days, Dom is a cornerstone of Tri Town. She manages purchasing, inventory, and online sales, all while ensuring our clients (and mechanics) have exactly what they need to succeed... essentially, the reason things don't descend into chaos.
 
When she's not at the shop, there's a good chance she's "testing gravity" on the ski slopes or "working remotely" from the mountains

Travis Wood (Head Coach)

Travis Wood

Travis discovered triathlon in 2015, coming from a running background and eager to take on a new challenge. He competed with the Boise State Triathlon Club for three years before graduating magna cum laude with a degree in Human Biology. After college, he decided to go all in on triathlon. Since then, Travis has competed in the collegiate club circuit, national championships, and world championships across three distances—earning multiple course records along the way. In 2019, he claimed several age-group wins in the 70.3 distance and captured the overall title at the USAT Sprint Distance National Championship. Through years of trial and error, Travis has developed deep expertise in triathlon training and equipment, and he's passionate about all things swim-bike-run. From 2020 to 2025, he raced professionally around the world. Today, he focuses on coaching, daily operations at Tri Town, and helping to grow the Boise triathlon community.

Ben Elumbaugh (Service)

Ben Elumbaugh

Ben developed a passion for cycling when he was 12 and it wasn’t long until he was all in. He spent all his high school years racing mountain bikes in NICA where he racked up plenty of varsity podiums and the occasional win. After high school, Ben transitioned into road cycling where he rides and races as much as he can. As a 19 year old Ben is chasing his goal of becoming an under 23 national champion.

Ben is what you would call a cycling nerd. He spends way too much time learning about the most obtuse topics cycling has to offer. To subsidize his cycling ‘habit’ Ben realized that he could focus his attention on the inner workings of the bicycle. At 13 he unofficially joined Tri Town’s team by trading hours spent cleaning for hours of one on one mechanical training. By 14 Ben officially joined the team and has worked as a mechanic with us ever since.

In his free time Ben attends the College of Western Idaho pursuing a business/economics degree. He is also working through his pilot certifications with the hope of flying as a commercial pilot one day. Ben’s favorite food while riding is a package of pop tarts. If you want to spot Ben out on the road, just look for the cyclist with mis-matched kit and bright pink socks.
