Vietnam Team Training Underway

 These photos were taken during our first meeting and weekend of team training, September 18-19, 2010.  Getting to know one another is an important first step to building a good team.

Bob Y., Joe, John, Kevin, Dan, Greg, and Bob B. pedaled about 130 miles together over two days. We trained in western Indiana. The weather was perfect -- warm and dry.  A second training weekend is set for October near Champaign, Illinois.

We range in age from 45 to 65.  Getting ready to pedal 60+ miles a day for two weeks in Vietnam in January is a good challenge for us.  Our pace is not high -- about 15 mph -- but riding well together is not as easy as it sounds.
