Big Wheel Racing

Jeni Turgeon just recently completed her 3rd Double Century (200-miles in one day) by finishing the Grand Tour 200 in Malibu, CA on June 23, 2007.  Jeni had previously completed the Death Valley Double, and the Solvang Double Centuries previously this year.   By completing the 3rd Double Century in one calendar year, Jeni became a California Triple Crown winner for the first time ever, and 2nd member of Big Wheel Racing to accomplish the task.  The purpose of the California Triple Crown is not only to encourage individuals to participate in these Double Centuries but, more importantly, to recognize the individuals’ accomplishments. Riding a Double Century requires a lot of training and mental determination so this series of challenging events provides many positive benefits.

Jeni used her Road ID bracelet, and MaxxisRoad Tires and Maxxis Tubes on her carbon fiber road bike.  We celebrated her completion by opening bottles Santa Fe Pale Ale (Matt’s favorite) and Santa Fe Wheat (Jeni’s favorite) brewing in New Mexico by our sponsor, the Santa Fe Brewing Company.  In addition, which is always a requirement for us, the wool Sock Guy Socks kept our feet quite happy - even in the summer!

Please congratulate Jeni for accomplishing her first triple crown!
