Seconds

Today, the 29th of March, marks the Triple Crankset's second year of existence.

Though we have been corresponding and writing about cycling since our Trek Travel trip through the Pyrenees in 2003, we only officially put pen to paper, or rather finger to keyboard in 2006.

During our first year, we were definitely writing for ourselves and for those with whom we travelled. But through a matter of happenstance and a lot of work, we have begun to reach a broader scope of the vaunted cycling community in our second year.

That said, we have a multitude of individuals to thank. Some have been with us from our humble beginnings, others we are just getting to know.

In no certain order, we would like to extend our gratitude to:

Dan McCormack - One of the originals who rode with us in France. Ride on Rider.

Leo Cordery - Owner of Bicycle Generation in Deerfield Beach, FL and another one of the originals.

Shannon Hutchison-Krupat - The lady with one of the most infectious smiles; she was one our very first interviews and helped introduce me to the wonderful world of women's cycling.

Sean Weide - We have certainly profited from your vast knowledge of cycling and of those in the industry. Your contributions to our blogging experiment have been immeasurable.

Liz Hatch - Your loyalty is unmatched and your friendship unwavering. I truly appreciate your willingness to support our site. Heal up and see you in Philly!


Vanderkitten [Dave Verrecchia, Mark Zefeldt] - Your welcoming nature has always made me feel like part of your grassroot effort to create a racing team.

Knut Walther Baldersheim and Kurt Asle Arvesen - Our unending thanks to Knut for helping us to make an interview with KAA possible, and to Kurt for being so gracious in taking the time to answer our questions before his preparation for Worlds. Tusen takk!

Kathleen King - Your passionate disposition toward cycling and art are truly infectious. We appreciate your constant support and feedback.

Amber Rais - Your physical talents make you a great cyclist. Your openness, candor, friendship, and audacity to strive for something to benefit us all makes you a great person. We look forward to future contributions and collaborations.


Michael Engleman - The man who more than "walks the walk." Your dedication to women's cycling is an investment that will never take a downturn.

Dave "Poppa P" Politis, Chip Smith, and Maura Lansford of SOAR Communications - Thanks for your guidance and for the information you supply to the site.

Pip Gregson - Yoga instructor and bike shop co-owner extraordinaire. Your contributions and friendship have been invaluable to me. You Rock!

Katie W. - One of my best friends. Thanks for letting us accompany you on your journey toward becoming an Iron[wo]man. Run like the wind in Boston.

Amy K. - Your continued friendship and support behind the scenes is much appreciated.

Other notable mentions: Kurt Harvey, Chris Lees, Nicola Cranmer, Shelley Olds, Carmen D'Aluisio, Kris Keim, Steve Hatch, Sheena Johnson, Luke Seemann, Carlos Cabalu, Johlene Hess, Kerri Martin, Molly White & Bianca Dillon.
