Hey guys!
It has been awhile, the team has changed hands a few time over with the flow of graduating and new members- but here we are again!!! Kim has travel on you pursue a Doctorate in Sports Psychology in UNCG! Congrats to her and good luck!
We were lucky to have found ourselves a couple of new driven students, Matt Robins and Robert Burgel! Matt is a is the DPT program at UTC and will be a great asset to the team. He was hit by a car last year and have to undergo knee surgery as a result, but is a strong individual and is starting to pedal again. Robert (Jack) is a Masters student and Cat 2 on the road. Both are taking leadership positions on the team and we are excited for this next year!
This year we have already seen a great number of students with an interest. We should have a good year this year! Can not wait for road season to start!
A quick "Good bye" to those who have put in time of this team and we would like to thank for their efforts and contributions!
Don Humphries Don is graduating this Dec. He has been a major drive of this team for three years. When he first started I remember thinking he was a very strong rider but new to the sport. He was not experienced in the "group ride" area and was new to training on the bike. Of the team he was one who raced the most and trained the most. He is a very dedicated athlete. He has made tremendous strides and is now well known in the community for his long hard pulls on the front and swiftness up the climbs- not much of a sprinter ;)
James Eubank James Graduated this summer. He has been the heart of this team for three years. He started as a guy on a fixed gear just rolling around town and occasionally riding his mountain bike. James is one of the most humble and deviously talented riders you will ride with. He is tremendously light hearted and can make any ride fun, even the one meant to be painful. He has been very open to every type of racing and has raced for UTC on the road and in the dirt. His skillz as bada**
Both guys are staying in the area and are still down to ride. But THANK YOU for being a part of the team and great friends !!
