Big Thank You to Tripleshot Team

[mtsmith439]

I just finished my second ride with Tripleshot today.
Basically, I want to send out a big thank you to the whole team.
Everyone I have talked with has been super welcoming and helpful.
Being someone who is new to group riding, that meant an awful lot. Last Sunday, riding to the Fairfield Starbucks, I was so nervous I thought I was going to throw up (that sounds stupid, I know). From the moment I arrived many members put themselves out there, took the initiative, and made the effort to introduce themselves. With every introduction, the nerves started to melt away. The entire team should be proud of the inclusive culture they have created.
Being new to group riding, my first priority is to become competent at exactly that - group riding. The last thing I would want to do is put teammates or myself in danger. So, I would like to ask for criticism at this time. If anyone sees areas of improvement with my riding, by all means, share. I would greatly appreciate the feedback.
I told my wife last night if the ride went well this morning, I would formally join the club. It went well - so I am formally joining the club.
Besides, I am on the hook for some coffee already.
I will be unavailable the next two weekends, but I will be out with the club soon after that.
Enough rambling.

Cheers,
Mark Smith

OK...well your jersey did sort of clash with your shorts, helmet, and sunglasses. Get with the program, eh?

Seriously though, thank YOU for the very positive feedback Mark. I experienced that same sick feeling that you described before my first Tripleshot ride, too. However, we pride ourselves on being the most supportive and inclusive cycling club in town. So welcome aboard!

Cheers,
John

Forgot to add - this means we have now reached our quota of "Marks" in the club.
