Hard Work Pays Off

Pablos Pic is first
Kramer is MTBin

Pablo Silva has been riding with El Grupo longer than any current member. He has also been that classic kid who always tries really hard but results or progress do not seem to follow. He has also had an annoying ability to miss practices for extended amounts of time because of this or that. Well this summer has been the first time that he has been able to put weeks of good practices together and by golly it shows. Every Thursday morning we do the same ride, so we can guage ourselves against each other, and push our selves on a known course. It used to be that Pablo would be off the back of the group in less than 2 minutes. Well he is now rutinely making it to the sprint hill and challenging the folks up front. His is transformed rider and I am really happy and proud to see it. It may have taken him 2 years to reach this point but he is here and I hope he takes it even farther.

Also a thanks to Kramer here. Pablo said it was his help and encouragement that have helped him get here this summer.

Well done boys!!!
