TwoWheeledWorld

I feel pretty lucky. This spring and summer I've been spearheading a Tuesday night ride for my team, ProCycling. We meet at the shop at 5:30pm on Tuesdays and alternate road/mountain rides every other week. Well, what started out in week one, way back in March, as an easy spin designed to get some newer folks out with some faster folks quickly turned into one of a couple of the Springs's "Weekly Worlds" or Tuesday Night Worlds, or Wednesday Night Worlds, or whatever you want to call it. Soon some of the fastest people in the cycling WORLD, past and present, started showing up and it's really been fun.

Move over Boulder, move over Durango, Colorado Springs is where the fast folks live and train. Among the recent, occassional, and regular riders in attendance are:


-former National XC Champ and newly crowned 50+ Marathon National Champion Russ Asleson,

-former World XC Champ, National XC Champ, multi-time National CycloCross Champ, World Cup MTB winner, and two time Olympian Alison Dunlap,

-former U-23 World Time Trial Champ and multi-time National road champ Danny Pate,

-former 7-Eleven pro team member, pro team Motorola member, former National Time Trial Champion, former World 1-hour Record holder and Olympian Norm Alvis,

-current MTB Pro JJ Clark,

-former MTB Pro and Cyclocross honch Greg Frozely,

-multi-time National Cyclocross Champion, World Cyclocross silver medalist and current Pro Katie Compton,

-former MTB Pro and new dad Doug Ryden.


These are just the people who are lucky enough to have made a living for a time doing what they love. So many other of Colorado Springs fastest cyclists often show up and thanks to everyone who has so far this summer! Doug, Joe, Larry, Bruce, Seth, Sharon, Ron, Dan, Greg, Jurgen, Damon, Kalan, Ken, Bob, Mike, Eric and others.


These are all people I'm lucky enough to ride with! Thanks for making Tuesday evenings something to really look forrward to!
