Thanks - it's just honestly so much fun to see people really push themselves to do something beyond what they might have thought they could do. We've been coaching for TNT since 2001, and this will be my fourth year for DR. I really haven't had many better times on a bike than last year (after missing 2 months training because of the busted shoulder and barely hanging on in the training rides, mind you) getting one of my guys to the fifth pass. He'd cramped too bad and made 4 the year before and it just killed all of us. He was in a "faster" ride group, but I ended up bringing him in the last 2 passes. That was good. So good. For almost every year I have coached, I have a story like that. It's so worth it.
