Therapeutic Associates Inc. sent 2 teams to the Ski to Sea race in Bellingham, WA on May 27. The teams consisted of TAI cyclists, XC Oregon skiers and others affiliated with the company. Their ‘A Team’ did really well, with Marshall Greene & Jason Tedrow from XC Oregon and Matt Lieto from TAI Cycling competing really well in their events. Wes Hines (XC Oregon) and I were on the Callen Construction Team and finished 9th in our class, 13th overall. There were 432 teams this year!

Nice job to everyone on the team for racing so well this season.

We’re getting excited for the BBNS Crit Series to begin next week. I’d encourage everyone on the team to come out and race. It’s a great opportunity to support our bike shop sponsor and local racing, plus, we’ll talk about strategy and drink beer afterward…
