So all of the team bikes are built, painted, assembled, and delivered.  All of the components and schwag has, for the most part, been filtered out to the team.  I can now stop and sit back and catch my breath for a quick moment as the race season is now bearing down upon us.  Jacob, Amanda, Will and I are kicking off the DINO season on Saturday up in Warsaw while John take the show on the road and heads down to PMBAR on the same weekend.

I am supremely proud of what our little team has put together.  The racers are all fit, flying, fast, and fun.  I know I repeat it over and over but we are all ambassadors to the sport.  Never should that point escape your frontal cortex.  All actions need to be conducted through the prism of "How would others perceive my actions and behavior?  How would that reflect on the companies on the jersey?"  I have no doubt that all of you will go hard.  You will turn yourselves inside and out to eek out a little better position, a little faster time, a little closer to the top step of the podium.  On this I have no doubt.  More importantly, I am supremely proud of the character of the team.  We are truly a TEAM.  Results come and go but character is here to stay.  We will be the standard bearer for what a team should be.

Have fun kids.  Smile.  Test yourself.  Encourage others.  Be a role model. Have no regrets that you did your best to win and did it in the "right" way.

Now if you will excuse me I need to start thinking about getting the team cyclocross frames built.

Your fearless leader,
Tim
