No solo rider is ever alone.  And while he pushes the pedals every last inch of the 509.6 miles he is never too far from his crew.  I owe my success to my crews.  I thought it would be fitting to recognize all my previous crews in a blog post.

2006 my rookie year Robin Barsantee, Shelley Brown and Ron “Leviathon” Smith

2007 Fixed Gear Brandy Deluca, Terry Zmral, Timmer Vadhiem

2008 – my personal best Ticia, Brandy Deluca and Jason Hock

2009 Brandy Deluca and the Stokes

2010 Steve Rachel and Jaime

2011- record setting sixth consecutive solo finish- Jim Kehr, Lida Letowt and Carlo Cuento

and one just for fun!
