Skills Clinic

Thisi past Saturday the 23rd of January the USA Cycling Junior National coach Barney King came to town and put on a skills clinic for the team. We definitely learned a lot, I learned a lot, and I know the team had a good time. I want to thank Barney and Son, Hunter, for putting this on and creating such a great time.

For me it is humbling to think that a small team like ours that started in my house with crummy bikes and some real random kids has come so far. This is a real testament to the kids on this team and the level of commitment that they are putting in. It really has little to do with me. I just show up and open the door and have an idea. It is the kids that make this thing happen and get it recognized.

So I want to thank all the Riders past and present that have believed in me and my idea and have created something special. If we keep this up, well the sky is absolutely the limit. Lets set some lofty goals and lets go get them. Because if you would have asked me 5 years ago if this team would be were it is today, I'm not quite sure I would have believed it.

I certainly wanted to get to this, and I just kept plotting along. Just like Barney said it takes 10 years to get your body in peak shape for an endurance sport and so that is how I see this team. In another 5 years who knows where we will be, but I hope I would not believe it today.

THANKS TO ALL COACHES, RIDERS, AND PARENTS PAST AND PRESENT EVERY ONE OF YOU MADE THIS HAPPEN!!!!!!!!!!
