Team TT Practice


This weekend we have a Team Time Trial in Knoxville. I figured this would be a GREAT team building experience for our newly added road team. With this being said, the weekend is fast approaching and we needed to get out and practice together. Wednesday was the day and it was a perfect day for it.

Star, Gina, Lisa and I met up and rolled out up over Suck Creek Mountain and into the valley for some rolling to flat riding. Mark got to drive the support vehicle and fill the team director role, radios and all. It was so much easier to get us dialed in with someone else talking us through the good and bad of what we were doing. After about an hour and a half in Sequatchie Valley we were really impressed with ourselves. We were moving along as one and it was a BLAST!! Sunday is going to be really fun...and if we are lucky, we'll have good results too.

The added treat of the whole day was Bill Parsons, our "team photographer", taking time out of his busy day to hang out of the back of the car to shoot the whole thing. We have an entire disc of great pictures of our success. And Mark only tried to dump him out the hatch a couple of times....

Bill is EXTREMELY brave to ride in the back of Mark's car with Mark driving! I'm very familiar with Mark's driving skills. Did he puke?

No, there was no "Bill puke" this time...although there was some degredation on the "puke scale" after the ride over the mountain.

C'mon now, I'm not THAT bad. Bill just suffers from a weak stomach! :) :) Nice to hear from you Rach...
