This past weekend was a wonderful kickoff for Team Bobs-Bicycles.com and the upcoming 2008 race season. From a personal standpoint, eight hours of riding in two days is a huge accomplishment, and I could not have done it without the support of my teammates and sponsors. Between Jonathan and Vern, we had a follow-car each day, which made the whole prospect less intimidating for a gal like myself who was just hoping to hang on for the finish. Also, I cannot express enough gratitude to the men's team, as they were patient and supportive, always making sure I had a good wheel to cling to when they started puttin' the wood down, and not insisting that I pull through when we were motoring uphill on Hwy 16 at 25 mph! Thank you all! I am excited to be part of such a friendly and talented program!
