A strong hello and “Thank You” to all our sponsors, supporters and friends from JIMENEZ Velo Sport, a Montclair, New Jersey team that seeks to recover the romance of traditional road cycling and racing. These days it is easy to find yourself robotic on the bike staring down at a gadget and worrying yourself silly if you don’t/can’t generate certain numbers. It is nothing but a race through endless data and analyses, attempting to give us a clearer picture of our own world, a world we know. But their race to depict our world often results, not in a clearer view, but rather in a merely virtual world - a world where caricatures replace flesh-and-blood effort by passionate, rugged individuals. For this reason JIMENEZ Velo Sport was founded, so that the old-school romantic may have a home and the things that have been lost may be recovered out of the sadness of a day gone by – and become familiar again with the reason we first took up cycling – that we might be allowed to enjoy the bike FREELY. So thank you all for making this 2009 racing season so much fun. A special THANKS to John McGowan and Rick Garrigan of ASPEN EAST Health and Wellness Center.
