Team Photo with Matteo 7:15 am Friday

[Lister Farrar]

Our intrepid Italian exchange student member Matteo is heading home Sunday. To celebrate our time with him, and the sheer irony of an Italian coming to Canada to discover cycling, I think a Kodak moment is in order.

As tomorrow is pretty much the last chance, I'd like to invite as many of you as possible to attend the AM ride. Wear your current TS kit if you have it, no worries if you don't. (Even if it's dirty; you can't smell it in photos ) We'll do the photo first thing at coffee at 7:15, so if you don't normally stop, give us five minutes, and you can be on your way. You can even drive to Mocha house in your kit if you want.

I'd also ask if anyone has an extra current TS jersey in medium to put on Matteo for the pic, to bring it along. He's got his order in, but it won't be here till he's gone.

Don't forget your 'flair'!

Us high schoolers could also wear our oak bay jerseys if there isn't enough ts jerseys to go around

[Lister Farrar]

Great idea! Maybe we can get two pictures, one in TS gear and one in Oak Bay gear? Eric S., be sure to bring your Oak Bay jersey!

I'll sadly be on the 7 am ferry. Happy trails, Matteo! Great meeting you on that ride out to Newton, and great riding with you on the TS rides...

[matteo]

Thank you! It was great to ride with all of you guys, I had an amazing time!

[Josh.E]

I will be in full slackers gear tomorrow morning (there's an official slackers reunion tomorrow) so Matteo, you're welcome to wear my tripleshot jersey for the photo (and for the ride if you'd like).

Aw, shucks, Matteo. I'm out of town for the week getting fat and happy on the beach with my family, so I'll miss your last rides.

It's been a real pleasure riding and chatting with you over the past couple of months. All the best for your return home. I look forward to seeing you in the Giro in a couple of years.

Arrivederci!

I'll bring a LG shortsleeved jersey and camera.


I ride backwards remember - loo out after Ash.

Thanks for the pictures Galen!

Hey Matteo

It was an honour to be able to lead you out for your last tripleshot sprint this morning.
Have a great trip home. Hopefully you can find a great club to ride with over there. You're a natural on a bike.

Thanks Josh, sprinting in your draft is quite amazing!
We'll keep on touch on the forum, hopefully one day I'll come back.
