Few teams have influenced the NW racing scene to the degree of the Gin Optics cycling team.
Winning multiple WA State championship races, the WA Cup Title & a handful of medals at the USA Track Championships did little to distract this elite, cycling team from focusing on it's top priority.... Which is to looking really, really, really good while riding upon their bicycles (which is quite easy, considering they wear Gin Optics eyewear & NikApparel cycling clothing.)
The Gin Optics cycling is comprised of 15 dudes, all elite, category 1 & 2 racers.
In an interview conducted over the course of 4 hours, 3.5 bottles of wine & roughly 32 variations of the same dance move, program director Galen Erickson claimed, "As a team, we're dialed, we're focused & we're all racing for the right reason... to get chicks. No... I'm kidding. Well, only kinda. Anyway. Most of us on the team considered, or had careers on the USA pro circuit, which was kinda satisfying... kinda special... kinda hard. Anyway. We took that national experience & plugged it into a NW based & focused program. A program that's ours."
