TEAM TYPE 2 a HUGE Success!
Here is letter from Team Type 1/2 founder and racer Phil Southerland!
Chad,
I would like to extend a big Thank You to Tim, You, and Total Cyclist for the
services provided to Team Type 2. The coaching, knowledge, and guidance
that Tim provided to 8 guys who had recently got into cycling was
fantastic.
I got rave reviews about Tim from all 8 riders before the start of RAAM, which
I thought was great. As they say, "the proof is in the
pudding," and when those 8 crossed the finish line 7 days, 7hours, and 23
minutes later, Tim's ability to coach, guide, and lead were all proven beyond
any question.
I have had more and more people come to me saying "I thought they would
fail, never thought they could do it, surprised they lived, was positive they
wouldn't make it past the mountains."
But they proved them wrong, by putting the work in to achieve the goal of
finishing. What Tim did was remarkable, and I would now (more than ever)
recommend both he and Total Cyclist to anyone looking to achieve a goal on the
bike.
Thank you so much for the great work, and a HUGE thanks from millions with type
2 to Tim, as he helped to create 8 hero's in a world where they don't exist.
Have a great day.
Phil

Thad's last lap leadout.....
Dan Alion overcame two mechanical issues to win the
October 4th TreeShaker MTB race "6 hour Solo Male" class. Twenty
minutes into the race the front derailleur collided with the big chain ring,
and Dan had to finish the remaining 30 minutes of the first lap in the small
ring. At the end of the first lap, Dan reset the derailleur and got back
underway (with first and second gear rubbing the rest of the race). On the 6th
(of 7) laps, a spoke broke on the rear wheel. A quick trailside repair (folding
the loose spoke around good spoke), and Dan was back underway again...with
crossed fingers.
The bike held up (and so did Dan) to finish about 6
minutes ahead of second place.
The photo of me (and my pit crew) are just
before the race.
