i outta went around...

iowa.

oh boy.

i really enjoyed jingle cross last year, and i think it's gonna be an even better time this year.

at this time last year, lgr was just starting to take shape. we had a small roster, and a good attitude. jingle cross was the event that more or less kicked it off for us as a team.

karla, fil, tim, littleguy, and i were all there. i was a really nice way to get some momentum going to train thru the winter and be ready to rock our first season in brand new colors.

this year is no different. sure we have the kits now, but the team is changing and growing.
i have a feeling that we were viewed as a 'track team', simply because almost all of us raced at the track frequently.
i don't think that label was every really true. many of us have toed the start line over 50 times this year. from road races in iowa in march, to cx in november.

it's only fair to call us a cycling team.

while specificity will get you wins in one aspect of this sport, we are looking more for camaraderie, friendships, getting the most out of cycling, and good memories.

so, much like last year, we are setting out for jingle cross and we are bring a big crew.
this year our caravan is 10 people strong!
including some of our newest recruits, which i think will be a great way for them to really be introduced to the team.

check back for updates over the weekend.
also, check the bikethrow for all kinds of race shinanagins.

see you on the road.

...and the track, and the dirt, and...
