Connecting the past to the Present: Bicycle racing from juniors to the World Tour

Six years ago my son, Taylor joined a junior cycling team in Florida and began his racing career.  I picked up my riding and in 2010 joined him on the Colavita cycling team based in central Florida.  In the process of going to races I began photographing the events, and posted photos on social media.  My photos caught the attention of an online cycling publication, "Florida Cycling Magazine" and eventually I joined the twice monthly journal on staff.  In early 2011 I began contributing photos and articles on cycling events outside of Florida, connecting the readers with some of the top races including the Tour of California, Tour de Suisse, and Tour de France.  I applied and became a member of the international sports press association which along with my association with Florida Cycling Magazine has provided me with amazing opportunities to get inside the sport of cycling.  The online magazine has ceased to publish, henceforth I aim to carry on the reporting of cycling events I attend through this new blog carrying the same title of the magazine.  Enjoy the posts!!!
