spin / second sole multisport team

Ray's

The Spin Cup is a competition held every year among the Spin-Second Sole Multisport Team and the Spin-RR Donnelly Cycling Team. It’s a series of silly time trials on bikes, and winning the overall takes a combination of perseverance, excellent all-around bike skills, and blazing speed.

Last night kicked off the 2009 competition, with a time trial at Ray’s MTB. We started and finished in the beginner room, and the course was a real leg burner. We did a loop in the beginner room followed by a lap of the X-C Course, and we did it three times. It took around five minutes, but felt like an hour. Results below!

Greg Jackson crushed us, frankly, with a time of 4:27. Little Ray was next, at 4:50. He scrubbed 15 seconds off his first effort, where he accidentally t-boned a kid on the course. Sorry ’bout that, dude. Andy was third, at 4:54.

Props:
Condolences and pain killers go to Outback Rob Thompson, who washed out in a corner and had a suspicious little bump on his shoulder. I’ll post an update when he gets his x-ray.

Pat on the back to Aaron Rood for trying Ray’s for the first time. He learned some new stuff and claimed to have a great time.

Band-aid and three cheers for Bruce, who shuttled Rob home after his own little tumble.

Testosterone shots for Cristina, the only woman who showed. She earned a gorgeous white bike computer from Sigma for her new BMC. Thanks, Sigma!
