Standing on the start line, looking down Clayton St, I couldn’t quite tell what was louder; the beating house music reverberating through the BBQ smoked filled streets of Athens, GA, or the screams of 40,000 Terrapin fueled fans gathering to see 180 riders go to battle. Maybe it was just my heart beat pumping with [...]

The Queen’s Park Grand Prix was a great day for a bike race. Daniele took 4th place – an excellent result – but was disappointed because it looked like we had the race hands down until a mechanical on the last hundred meters. Regardless, very exciting racing and an exceptional field. A great photo of [...]
