Ride 2010: Captains Post

Well it has been a fantastic start to another incredible ride.  This is the 6th year I have taken part in this incredible event and every year brings with it a new feel.  With nearly 50 cyclists- this is our biggest.  I have the privilege of leading this great group of people through the ride- and they are a great group.  It is incredible how everyone has stepped up to help out and developed a cohesive team.  I am also captaining Team 1- and they are number 1!  This team (Team 1) is always a group of new  cyclists-  nervous and excited about the 600km trek.  This group is on fire!  All members have found there place in the team and are contributing in there one special way.  We did have one cyclist that had to stop today- sick and bad knee-  which is always tough.  It was a bit emotional but we hope to have her back at it tomorrow.  Team1-  you are incredible people and I can't wait for tomorrow....200km of fun (and a bit of pain).
