Following close behind DeLeeuw in last years CCTT, at Winter Park and now in the interviews is Marni Plesko. This interviewer's exceptionally cute and wonderful wife is fresh off her first season of racing bikes. While nervous to do her first time trial and cross country MTB race, she persevered and ended up going the distance in both series. With the help of her friends and class partner, future Ride Against the Machine interviewee Melissa Clark, she took 2nd place for the 19-29 beginner women at the Winter Park series. This year she's looking to step up her racing in the sport class and keep pushing her endurance. During the off season you'll find her hiking 14ers, wandering the deserts of Fruita and Moab in search of dry dirt and most importantly, napping. Let's see what else she has in store for this season...

Next up on the chopping block, I mean to be interviewed, is our primary organizer and leader Scott DeLeeuw. Without him it's doubtful that we'd all be riding together today. He saved our core team from the wrath of an egotistical fixed gear dictator and like a phoenix from the ashes made us into what we are today. Leadville instigator, Wednesday ride leader and Cherry Creek time trial veteran, Scott is always there supporting his friends, cheering everyone else on and never without a smile on his face. He has put an incredible amount of work into our team this past year, much of it behind the scenes lining up great sponsors and creating this website. And his downhilling is another one of those areas where other riders can see improvement through dedication and hard work. Plus Scott is a great connaisseur of bicycles and cycling related activities. Whether you want to go shred some singletrack, hit up the time trial series, crank around the track on your fixie or ride your highwheeler, Scott is there to try it with you. Now let's hear what this great guy has to say... |

Welcome to the Ride Against The Machine team interviews. To kick off our first year as an official team we thought it would be a lot of fun to help everyone get to know a little more about each other and help all our followers out there meet everyone too. Our first contestant is Bill Henderson! Although in the past he has been predominantly a dirt lover, the team has been converting him to doing some training on the road as well as doing the Cherry Creek Time Trial series with the group last year. And once you get him off road look out! He's tenacious about tackling technical trail tasks (Say that six times fast!). Bill is also the poster child for hard work yielding excellent improvement with 2007 seeing him atop the Clydesdale podium at the Winter Park series and an integral part of the 2nd place Clyde team at the 24 hours of Moab. On and off the bike, Bill is a great friend and person to have around and we're proud to have him be apart of our team. Now onto those all important questions... |

24 Hours of Moab notables |

Chris pulled in a 9th place in the men's solo division out of an incredible 62 riders, pretty dang impressive. He was only 2 laps off of Chris Eatough's winning race. He couldn't have done it without the help of Marni and the rest of his awesome crew. Bill put together the Ballistic Stillness Clydesdale team of Keith Burglund, Bill Henderson, Brady Hill, Nigel Thompson. They were thrilled to find their way to 2nd place, receiving big heavy medals, some boxes of some EAS nutritional candy bars, and a SRAM XO derailuer. Consistancy was name of the game, and they hope to next year do battle with the bunch of hardcores on some mean looking 29'ers that beat them this year. Kudos to Nicolette, Dan, and Truesdale for showing and going with a team name I fail to remember, something to do with a frog and sounding like Joey Buttafuoco... :) |
