Earlier this year Daniela and I brought a group of kids down to Hermosillo, Mexico to ride the velodrome and we had an incredibly good time, and while we were down there we had the privilege of meeting many bicycle coaches from the area. A video documenting our first trip can be found on this site. It was this trip and the relationships made that presented us with this newest dream chance. What am I talking about? Well right now Ron Stanage and Alex Strickland El Grupo riders along with Daniela Executive Director are in Aguascalientes, Mexico participating in an international bike racing festival in Mexico racing against 12 other countries. El Grupo was asked to represent the United States. The boys are wearing USA jerseys and will be racing for three days. Two days on the track and on Sunday a road race. I am hugely proud of this opportunity and the boys, and a little jealous of Daniela who got to go with them. However for those of you who know Daniela you know there is no better person suited to help the boys through this adventure and to spread the good work of El Grupo while helping to make lasting relationships so El Grupo may have this opportunity for years to come. Good luck boys, have fun racing and making friends, and enjoy the opportunity.
