Team Vino Queso
In early 2010, my sister Chris asked if I would like to go to Rotterdam, Netherlands for the Grand Depart of the Tour de France and then follow the first stages in Netherlands and Belgium. I said, "Sure, but can we see some windmills too?" By the time we were driving to Northern France to see that cobble stage along Paris-Roubaix route, I was hooked. Since then, we've been to 2013 Tour de France, US Pro Cycling Challenge, GP Cycliste in Quebec and Montreal. And, most relevant, we participated together in the 2016 King Challenge! Before our 2013 Tour de France junket, we decided a team name was needed: Team Vino Queso.
Chris has been a long time cycling fan. She opened the doors for me to experience the excitement, the people, culture, history, geography, and great opportunities that cycling affords everyone. For that I am grateful...
Team Vino Queso looks forward to continuing our support of the King Challenge and the Krempels Center!
