Hello 2010

Today is the first day of 2010 and the Mix1 Masters Cycling Team is happy to welcome in a new year. As loyal followers of the blog, and the team, 2009 was a great year for the the team with lots of podiums, a nice group of wins, a Best All Around Rider win for Jimi Gibson in the 45 Plus, a 3rd place in Best All Around Rider for Matt Segur in the 35 Plus, and the best Combined Masters Team in Colorado! (45 Plus won the Best All Around Team completion and the 35 Plus got second). To sum up what a great year 2009 was here is a nice photo of Pete Lucke taking the team's 1st win of 2009, back in April at The Tour Of The Depot in Utah. It may also be the only pure "Victory Salute" photo we got all year! Give Pete extra credit as it was a downhill sprint, in the 53/11, with lots of wind and it was darn cold. The fact he got 1 hand up is impressive. Hopefully the first win of 2010 is not far away.

As 2010 begins the team has been training in a rather cold Boulder, CO. The weather has had riders out on their mountain bikes, cross country skiing, snow snowing, at the gym, riding on the velodrome, and some times even riding on the road. The team is excited to built on so many great things from 2009, to add 4 new riders who we have complete confidence in to help the team out from day one (Peter #2, Matt #3, Josh and Jeff), and to work to improve the areas where we could do better. The first races of 2010 are only 8 weeks away in early March. They maybe only training races, but we have to keep working hard between now and then.

Thanks for reading and stay tuned for lots of great news, results, and photos to come in 2010.
