VORS - Moving Up

After Camp Hilbert #1 last weekend, we have now moved up into 4th place as a team in the VORS series. Next to The Bike Facotry, we earned more points than any other team!

Props

On another note, I have to give some props to a couple of riders at Hilbert that I do not even know.

The first is for the 8 year old grom from JRVS who was rockin it with the juniors. All of the sudden the junior racers come up the road and there is this micro racer blasting along right smack in the mix. I had to do a double take. As I watched him throughout the day, I think there was only 30 minutes of the entire day that he was off his bike. Awesome! You guys have a superb junior program.

Then there is another junior rider from The Bike Factory who has rocked a super solid start to his season. Mind you, this kid is 15 years old and he is putting it to the sport men. I have read the complaints about him being listed as an expert on his team site and then racing sport, but come on he is racing the men, not the juniors. So congratulations to him, too. Thanks to Sean T. for all his effort with The Bike Facotry Team, you guys are killing it!

Team Thoughts

I have to say that while I enjoyed hanging out for the day at the Camp Hilbert Race #1, I could not help but think where I might have been had I actaully ridden my bike over the winter and into the spring. I felt great last year and expected to be even faster this year. Through a myriad of reasons, that has just not happened. I did get to hang out with Mason all day, which was rewarding in its own right. I am enjoying taking on the Team Manager role. I just put the deposit down on the new team kit order and it is the culmination of probably around 60 hours worth of work between Roger Sattler and myself. It is great to see anything you create come to fruition and this endeavor was no different. There were a lot of ideas bounced around to come up with our current design, a true collaboration of efforts. I will be smiling ear to ear as I have the pleasure of passing them out to everyone.

It is also great to see the team show up in numbers for the race and it will be even sweeter when we all match... I am looking forward to a great year, it should be a lot of fun.

SHOUT OUT...

I just wanted to take a moment and let everyone on the team know that we are excited to have all the new members and that we are looking forward to having a great year with a lot of sweet rides together... and I don't just mean on the BUS!
