This year, the team has received a lot of new, shiny items.
We have received new bikes for our track project, and for the next month will be traveling to Colorado Springs to train a group of riders to compete in the Collegiate Track Nationals in Frisco, Texas on September 14, 15 and 16. There are a group of 12-15 that will compete for the National title that weekend.
We also have started a coffee business to help provide scholarships for our riders. It costs $12 a bag, grounds or beans, dark, medium, decaf or espresso. If you are in Grand Junction, we deliver it for free right to your doorstep or office every Tuesday! And it’s super delicious! 😉
This year, the team has tripled in size since last semester! From people that have had professional careers, to beginners, we are an eclectic group of men and women varying in ages and majors. We are all learning from each other and helping each other learn. Anyone is welcome to the team so don’t hesitate to join or even come ride with us once in a while!
On the list of new things, is our new coach Rick Crawford. He has been coaching for over 30 years and coached some of the greats throughout the world and country. He and his family has joined our team as a coach, a friend, a family member, and here to stay “until he dies,” he says.
The last thing we have new is our team kits. They are pretty good looking.
Stay tuned for a calendar to link to your phone and personal computer to keep updated on training sessions, and races.
