Team Ride is a Success
THANKS everyone for coming out on the team ride and for the awesome food! The Bicycle Station provided chicken, pork, and brats, and it was all well received after the BCSP excursion on two wheels.
Some got in more miles than others as the slower group was lapped. But I'm quite sure there wasn't as much trash talk in the fast group as the slower one. For one, they were probably having trouble breathing while we (slow group) were chatting. I've been told on rides that if I'm talking, I'm not riding hard enough. That's good advice. Maybe I should follow it. (:
Meredith explains there will be NO stoppingat the top of Aynes during the DINO race while Jason, Matt, and Lars think about the downhill.

Looking forward to your own riding tales. Some pics are below--more will come later.
Ride on!
Ride on!

DINO #1 - Warsaw
While teammate John Clasen headed to North Carolina for PMBAR (tag line says "crushing souls since 2003"), many of the Bicycle Station members headed to the first DINO race in Warsaw. We're looking forward to some stories from John on the adventure race!
The Northern Indiana Fat and Skinny Tire Fest brought riders from several midwest states deepening the field in many categories. What a day! With rain looming in the forecast all week, I told many friends how unenthusiastic I was about riding in the mud. I couldn't have been more wrong. The temperature hovered in the low 60s with a gentle breeze cooling us when the sun came out; the trails were in perfect condition with few tacky spots.
After being on the course for 20 minutes, was anyone else thinking, "I really need to step up my training?" For many, this was our first race of the year. Congratulations to Matt, Denny, Meredith, Mike B, Danny, & Blake on a tremendous first DINO race. Additionally, we were surprised by the attendance of teammate and standout, Jean-Luc who showed us he hasn't stopped training since his move to PA. Results are posted on the DINO website. Also, congrats to Mike F, Jeff, & Angela on some good efforts while on the course. I heard Jeff crashed and broke some spokes--looking forward to that story. I (Angela) had a tree jump out in front of my right handle bar which sent me flying to the forest floor. Unfortunately, I flatted in the process and was unable to repair it.
The last race included Noah Battin in the Shimano Youth Series where he earned a dazzling medal for his finish. Congratulations, Noah!
Below are some pics from Saturday.
Mike, Denny, & Jeff recap the day for Martha:
