Special thanks to our support teams

Special thanks to our support teams

Thursday 9^rd May, 2019

We are grateful to a special group of individuals who provided ongoing training, support and guidance to us:

To Jim, the owner of Valley Fitness gym (Unionville, CT) who upon learning of our upcoming bike trip made the correct training recommendations.

To our Spinning Class instructors (Pam, Christie, Fatima and Mike) and the entire class for supporting and pushing us.  We will never forgot the word “Add”.

To our personal trainers, Brian and Jeff, who understood our goal and pushed us beyond what we seemed possible.

To Pete, Jan, and Doug at Benidorn Cycling (Canton, CT) for the many hour assisting us with bike and equipment selection.  And then bike fitting and refitting.  And then more discussions on nutrition and the appropriate use of energy drinks and bars, electrolyte drinks, and strategies to consume an additional 3,000 – 5,000 calories daily of the right nutrition types (which is actually more difficult than it sounds).

 

To our family and friends for their continued encouragement, support and assistance.  So many of them did so much (and continue to),  it is impossible to list them all in this blog.  They include the Seeber, Eickhoff, LaRoche, Marco, Migliarese, Shafran and Deckers families.

 

Thank you all!
