Team headstrong will enter 2014 under 2 new teams, Greenville Velo (out of Greenville, SC) and Maddog83 (out of Tucson, Az).. It has been a great 4 years of racing, companionship, and community. We have accomplished some great things, but like all things, time moves on and so will we. See below for more details......

Camp musings from Bird

First, thanks to everyone who clipped in, for a great weekend. I guess everyone has been a student of Christina's in the power of positive thinking/attitude as it showed. It was a pleasure to host the camp and share my favorite rides and home with all of you.


Saturday's ride was actually 11 rated climbs, not the 9 I had mentioned....... Yes, Joe, just one more climb...... We had short climbs, steep climbs, and one really nasty long and steep climb. 7,000 ft of climbing in 60 miles is a tough challenge and everyone did a great job.


I have tallied the "points" and without a doubt Giselle is the clear winner of the Polka Dot jersey overall. Tom Reynolds was the winner on the men's side (soundly beating me with the climb up 215), but our women put the "hurt" on the men in this slugfest of climbs. I have weighted the climbs ( to my advantage of course), but the billy goats who made it up the 215 climb prevailed as it was awarded the highest point total. I am not sure I got all finishing right on all the climbs but it is close enough.

Thanks for sharing those rides with us, Bird. They were great routes, but the company made them outstanding.

BTW, did you give the some of the climbs their names? They are perfect!

I did use some "artistic" license in naming the climbs...

Jim and I rode the course backwards today starting in Rosman... whoa, that's a ride....
