Indoor @ Cycle University

The FareStart team is super excited about all our sponsors, but in particular we're pumped about the new relationship with the good folks at Cycle University who have two locations now, one in West Seattle and one on Sand Point.  Because its WINTER out!

Today was one of our regular EARLY morning indoor training sessions and it has been great to fill up all eight Computrainers as we do our best to drown the mat in sweat.  Making the trip this morning as well was Gabe Templeton who brought his camera to document some of the nonsense that middle aged men seem to bring on themselves when they are entranced with visions (in their mind) of recapturing the athletic glory of their youth.

No Gabe, that really is my bed-head hair, I didn't realize we had to be fierce this morning.

The lucky eight willing to get up at o'dark thirty to sweat.

John Duggan - Sponsor Profile

FareStart Racing Sponsor Profile No. 1 – John Duggan, Attorney-at-Law

John Duggan is a familiar name in many cycling circles in the greater Seattle and Puget Sound area and is widely considered a tremendous friend of cycling and in particular, cyclists who are injured.  In addition to his strong involvement with both the Cascade Bicycle Club and the Bike Alliance of Washington, he sponsors many amateur racing teams including Thumbprint Racing which rides on behalf of charity and will represent FareStart for the 2012 season.

We began our overview of John with some questions posed directly to him.

What got you into cycling initially?  Did it precede your interest in law?

Yes, my interest in cycling preceded my interest in law. Initially, I started cycling during college and law school as a matter of necessity because I did not own a car. After law school a couple of other attorneys turned me on to the recreational side of riding. I had been a high-level soccer player through college and once my playing days were over cycling was able to provide the fitness and competitiveness that I had been used to my entire life.
