Ok, I finally got the chance to meet some of my teammates and mentees on the Moab/Marin cycle team today. With the wrap-up of the Tahoe - AMBBR team on June 7, Ross and I are now able to transition to mentoring our new TNT friends.
It was good to meet people, but not so great to have the flu. I did my best to kind of just lounge around until ride time. My task on the ride was to ride through the group and see how people were getting along. As such, I started at the back of the group and basically did my best to make up the stagger and at least see how participants were doing. The flu made the lung-power a bit iffy, but it was still fun (even though I was blowing my nose constantly).
Along the route, I talked with quite a few of the riders and everyone seemed to be in good spirits. I managed to catch up with all but around five participants. I noticed the usual first ride kind of issues: concerns over "hills" and issues with shifting, but, on the whole, riders seemed pretty comfortable on their bikes. This is going to be another fun season.
The next step will be to see how Coach Wayne groups everyone having had the chance to evaluate the riders. It will be fun to meet my "new" team. I wonder what they will call themselves. :-)
Go Team!!!
