Congratulations to our riders

As Team Manager for Vassago I would first like to express my apologies to our team riders as I have been hard to catch for the past 3 months. I would also like to express my extreme gratitude for all of their support as my daughter continues with her second year of chemotherapy for Neuroblastoma Cancer and ROHHAD Syndrome. I am extremely excited to have all of you on the team this year and am enjoying all of your stories of trails and races. Keep kickin' ass out there!


Now on to the fun stuff -- the past 2 months have not slowed down for our riders and they continue the fight on the trails.


Tom Ament place 2nd in SS Advanced Class in the MBAA first race of the series


Next, Tom hit the 12 Hours of Temecula, also first race of this series, working hard and earning a 2nd Place spot on the podium.













Sara Stanford started her season off at the MBAA series race competing in the Pro Class. Finishing in 1 hour and 49 minutes:
Sara 1st Place






















Zach Stanford headed up to Temecula with Tom to take on the Solo Expert Class in the 12 hour race.
Zach 1st Place






















Brad Keyes braved the cold and snow at Frozen Hog 2009.
Brad 1st place















Brian Archer just starting Mountain Bike season finished up his Cross Season on the new Fisticuff.
As our main cross race rider we sent Brian the first of the Fisticuff frames to give her a good beating and let us know what he thought. You can read about the Fisti on Brian's blog.




















Zach Stilwell has taken on cross season and mountain bike season like a madman! Zach received an award for Minnesota Junior Cyclocross Rider of the Year at the Minnesota Cycling Federation awards banquet!
Congratulations Zach!

TransUtah

No this is not a new race but yet the amazing travels of Dave Nice. On October 2nd Dave headed out to Moab, UT from Glenwood Springs, CO. Taking with him his Jabberwocky, back pack, and a cooler. Through the travels and tribulations of Dave's adventures we experienced one legged pedaling due to a broke pedal, a few bus rides, an 80 mile ride in to Hurricane, UT and then rode on to Cedar City, UT.


Hitched a ride to SLC Cycles where he caught up with another Vassago rider, Brad Keyes.
A train ride from SLC to Green River. After riding the Jabberwocky from Green River to Moab he arrives ready to race. Congratulations making it through the trek of TransUtah.
