Congratulations @mcneese.chad! Well deserved! Such a thoughtful gesture by @Nate_Pearson and the TR team. Not only is TR such an amazing training tool, I feel like there is a true connection to the employees/community. The forum is a such a great resource. Any question Iāve asked, has always been answered with knowledgeable adviceā¦and a lot of it! Keep up the good work all.

I really love this whole exchange, but maybe the best part was that it took him a day or so to show up to see it. Really fun. Ive learned a lot from @mcneese.chad and the other one. Hope you have an awesome trip.

Iād say ācome to Minnesotaā but that would be a dumb way to waste a trip of a lifetime!

That and the fact that I lived there for a year as a kid leaves me looking for ānewā places too. Great place and I really liked the Chanhassen (sp) area we lived in.

Not only do I have to up my FTP but I have to up my forum game. Is there a thumbs up to kg ratio that would make me a Cat 1 forum contributor?

Nice move @Nate_Pearson.
I have been a business owner now for 26 years and I continually see things that you do that causes me say to myself, āthat was good moveā. It usually has to do with things that you do for your employees. You are clearly a very unselfish person and recognize the value of your team and others. No doubt this is a major key, if not THE major key to the success of TR.
Keep it up.

I went through those lists and recognised nearly all the names as great contributors to threads I have been searching & reading

Yes, indeed. We have many active contributors, with a depth of knowledge across so many topics that is nothing short of impressive. I do a fair bit of searching within the forum to find referral topics on new and repeat posts. Sometimes I also search into Google, and itās funny to see how many times the Google search results have one or more TR forum topics as the lead results
This group is about as close to āone stop shoppingā for cycling and training info as possible. Quite an amazing resource.
