El Tour de Tucson 2012


Once again, Teenie and the DS hosted a great event at their Tucson home, and we all thank them for their hospitality and making this possible... 

The "Don" (Roger Kennedy) and the DS assembled their respective teams to position themselves and their teams to be on the podium of this year’s El Tour Tucson.   The Don brought in 4 ringers including 3 NYC pros and a Cat 3 diesel to power Team Foundation, whereas the DS brought in 4 rouleurs and 3 top women to 1) sweep the women’s,  2) win the men’s overall and  3) do a 1,2 in the Men’s 60+…. Ambitious goals to say the least….

The Strategy…..after countless hours of discussions on and off the bike, the Bake mediated the final strategy ……..Keep our noses clean… stay in the lead pack and make the play in the final 4.5mile run in….
