A CYCLING TEAM IS BIGGER THAN THE ROSTER
Racing for us is a family event we look forward to every week. And the more family that is present, the more fun racing is. We all work toward a goal of me performing at my best and succeeding for our team and sponsors. Having a family that is so involved in my sport helps keep me grounded and motivated to always give it my all no matter the situation. How can you not push your limits when you have family who spends their free time studying nutrition facts and coming up with new ways for you to stretch.
It may not be a family behind every cyclist, but you can bet that there is someone. I’m sure every great cyclist can name someone who invested time into helping make them great. I have a fantastic coach in Bruce Hendler of Athleticamps, and he has helped me over and above what a normal coach would do. However, without my family making sacrifices I would never achieve or reach the level Bruce thinks I’m capable of.

Cycling, as we all know, takes a lot of hard work and dedication. But, it can also require sacrifice from our families, friends, and loved ones. So, never forget to show appreciation to those in your life who invest hours of hard work into your passion. The feed zone wife, mom, and dad are the unsung heroes of the local road racing world. Without them, who would be there to help us endure and enjoy our sport? I am exceedingly thankful for my support team, and here’s a thank you to all the feed zone and family support systems in local cycling!
