SPH - Wheelhouse Cycles team ready for the season to begin

(AP, Red Wing, MN)

As the Sandwich 50 draws near, final preparations of bikes, nutrition, and bodies are underway for the SPH - Wheelhouse Cycles team. There is an air of confidence and excitement amongst the group. While the first race may also be the biggest of the year for those in the contest this weekend, there is contentment with whatever the results may be and wonderment with how the bodies will respond to such a test.

"We've created a great atmosphere on the team. The guys are all tight and Larry (Warrington) and Isaac (Giesen) have managed to transmit motivation and tranquillity to the entire group," explained directeur sportif Andrew Petersen. "We're setting off knowing that we've prepared very well for the race, which is a very important objective for us."

Both team leaders were aware of the difficult task ahead, but not without confidence. "It's going to be quite a hard Sandwich 50, from the first lap to the last. I think it'll be the most challenging out of all the ones I've faced so far," said Isaac Giesen.

It's almost go time

Like the sweet spinning backhand at a ping pong table the racing season is finally upon us....

Carbo loading has commenced by eating hot wings, little pork tacos, some Chipotle remains, and sample wedding cakes... tomorrow the plan is to drink lots and lots of water

My saddle has been swapped out to something that isn't worn out... and then swapped back to the old stand by. The gearing has been swapped from a real man's gear 36-18... to the more reasonable 32-18...

Let's rock!
