It’s been quite a while since my Tuesday/Thursday night group rides with the Bikesenjava crew. I’ll never forget how much I learned from them, nor will I forget how much support I was given. That shop, now Village bikes, made it easy for me to fall in love with the sport and had plenty of riders who were willing to share their knowledge.
Tonight they held a meet and greet function where I was able to talk with many of the new riders who weren’t around when I left Sarasota almost 6 years ago. I always enjoy chatting with club riders and giving out a few training tips when possible, but there’s something special about getting to go back to where it all started in order to do it.
I hope that I was able to help or inspire a few people there tonight and that I can find a way to continually help this club grow in the future. It’s an amazing group of people and I had a blast getting to catch up with some while meeting others for the first time. Thanks for everything guys!
Thank you for coming Bobby! We will live vicariously through you!
