 Katharine
models a lovely cut-off
T-Shirt. This look inspired a friend, and mentor cyclist to dub us
Team T-Shirt. |
Kat gets
ready to
roll early one Saturday morning. As
seen here, in our early days of training, we looked a bit rag-tag --
hacking the sleeves off our t-shirts to keep cool and waiting until
the next paycheck to purchase another bit of essential yet cool gear.
Accordingly, as we learned later, our more experienced colleagues on
the road (primarily male racers who would blow by in formation, fully
outfitted in the latest moisture-wicking, form-fitting, color-blaring
cycling wear) dubbed us "Team T-Shirt." Little did they know how we
would evolve...

Here you can see Debra at a more
advanced stage of GEARED-UP. She has upgraded from Tee to training
tank and 8 panel riding shorts. With her funky cycling glasses
(with 3 interchangeable lenses for various weather conditions)
and her combination hydration system/back pack, she inspired Kat
to break into song "Ground control to Major Tom...." We now
refer to her as MAJOR D!

As
the
summer
progressed, the team
began to invest in more gear. By the day of the ride we completely geared
up and ready to go! |
