2012

Time to announce our full roster....actually the new guys on the team cause im not sure who has quit or been left off the team this year.

AWI is pleased to announce that Evan McNeely has joined the team. Evan  is a young up and coming whipper snapper currently studying how to build bridges and stuff at....Carleton??? one of those universities in Ottawa. Evan will continue to "officially" race for EMD serono. Closet team member.

Our other two new members came as a package deal, we call them the Bash Brothers. Davis Ross (L) and Bretton Mathews. Davis is a purest, only riding gears when he needs too. Very quiet, doesn't say anything unless its pure gold. Also Studying how to build bridges in Ottawa.

Bretton is officially racing for Norco Bikes(greatest team ever BTW) but will find some time to contribute to AWI and our mission.(first mission find a mission) Closet team member.

Look for these riders to contribute a blog post or two in the upcoming season.

Tour De King and AWI fun

So Chico is hosting another great event called Tour De King and I think y'all should check it out on the Chico site HERE. AWI will be there hopefully on a fixi tandem so its worth the trip just to see Jacob and myself crash and thrash the King!

Last Hardwood Ski and Bike weekly race series night Matt,Jacob and myself deciding to race Go-Karts. Heres a vid of us hitting the Joy Ride 150 jumps.

Cheers,

Tristan

Well I guess im doing this report, Still waiting on another team member to do a 9 hour report but whatever people are busy camping I guess.

AWI has at least one official member at Worlds(the real actual worlds not provincial worlds) this year. Though there are some prospective team members in attendance. So saturday at 10:30 Ontario time you can watch yours truly on the interweb and live timing race here in Switzerland repping the Team.

First XC win for AWI

Thats right, AWI finally scored an olympic format win this past weekend at Blue mtn at the Georgian Bay open AKA east coast open.

It was a crazy course see my own personal blog for a detailed report. Hey just a question does anyone else read this thing?

Anywho, good weekend all around, the AWI coffers are a little deeper now. Should make for a good end of year BBQ.

Sick, also we had an exec meeting last night and we have decided who we will invite to join the team next season. I hear Cavendish is looking for a team.....

If You're Not First, You're Sixth

Kelso O cup report, and since i am the only one that raced it i guess i have to write the report.  Pre rode yesterday and it was super dry, and prbably the best course i've ever ridden at Kelso.  With the threat of rain Sunday i was ready for whatever, until i woke up and saw it was actually pouring, then decided i didn't want to ride in the rian.  Turned to the trusty radar and it reassured me that it would stop.  By the time race time came around it had been dry for a couple hours and the sun came out just in time to cook us on the climb up the escarpment 5 times. 

Kinsie and i had decided to race for last and second last.  Gun went off and i started my nice chill climb settling into a solid 20th or so.  Everyone was trying to kill it the first lap and there were some mistakes made on the remaining few slippery sections.  After lap 1 i was sittig just inside the top 15 and just plugged away at it.  At the end of the second lap Bretton caught me and i turned it up a bit to see if i could hang on.  I did and he towed me around for 2 full laps....Thanks again Brett.  During that time i got all the way up to 6th and all i had to do was hang on the last lap and not screw it up.  Held the position and got the hurt on the last half lap.  Good race overall. Kept all my laps between 25:01 and 25:47 so pretty consistant i'd say.  Pounded back some choco milk at the end, accepted my huge pay cheque and headed for the Booster Juice.  Nom nom. 

Not sure what the team is up to next. Maybe an interclub road race, maybe East Coast Open, for me the next thing will be the M View 9 hour solo.  All for now. Just wondering when the next AWI slip 'n slide party is......

Later.
