MMCC Jr. Race Team 2010 Wrap UP

 The 2010 MMCC Jr. Race Team was out in full force taking on events across MN and WI this past summer.  The racers that represented the Team were brother-sister Josie and Sawyer Amo and Nick Kern.  In total they had 29 race starts and only one DNF due to allergies.  They over came a season full of mud races and plenty of travel. 

Nick participated in road, mountain bike and Duathalon events. 

In their reimbursement forms there were a few questions about their season that I will share with you...

Please describe some of the best and worst experiences during the 2010-racing season.

Nick Kern:  Well the worst experience I had was when I got my chain stuck in my spocket at the single track escape.  The best experience was at the salem Park couse I thought I passed a lot.

Josie Amo:  The best experience of my racing in 2010 was when my cousin Lilly got to race with me.  My worst experience was at the afton avalench...it was hot and hilly!!!

Sawyer Amo: Some of the best things were traveling with my family and riding different courses.  Some bad things were allergies to plants.

Did you participate in trail work during the 2010 season?  If so, what were you tasked with and did you learn anything from the task and working with others?

Sawyer Amo:  Yes, I owed, hauled gas, raked, and helped load teh trailor.  If you have a course you have to keep it in good shape.

Did you volunteer during the MMCC’s Revolution Single Track Escape?  Did you participate?  What were 3 things you liked about volunteering or racing?

Josie Amo:  Yes, I volunteered and yes I participated in the race.  Somethings that I liked about volunteering where I got to spend time with Matt Stone and my grandma.

Would you submit a proposal to be a member of the MMCC JR. Cycling Team in 2011?  If so why and what would some of your goals be?  

Nick Kern: If im still feeling good I will for sure as long as I'm healthy and strong.  My goal is to be better in every race I do.

Josie Amo: This is undecided

Sawyer Amo: I don't know if I will be joining the team for sure because of summer plans.

Thank you for being a member of the 2010 MMCC Jr. Cycling Program.  We hope you enjoyed racing in the MMCC jersey and that you were proud to be a part of a program that was possible by dollars donated for the sole purpose for you to be able to get to races and have an opportunity to learn and grow in the sport of cycling.

I've asked for some photos and when I get some I'll post their racing results.

Thanks again for your support of the Jr. Cycling Team.  We hope to do this again next season so look forward to the dates of the fundraiser.
