The team is something of an anomaly as typical race teams are considered. It is formed as a non-profit organization and their mission surprisingly, is not to race bikes but to actually help develop its athletes into true role models through education and community outreach. How friggin' cool is that?
Who wouldn't want to bring this message to light through photography? Well a lot of folks I suppose, but for me this seemed like something that begged for recognition.
I will be posting on this subject in the weeks and months to come as I am 'following' the team through the better part of its race season this year to compile information for the photo essay.
So what does all this have to do with roasted beans in the slip? Ha, I met a couple of the team members at Shockoe Espresso & Roastery today for some interviews and photos. It was my first time trying their coffee and boy look at what I have been missing. Big roaster churning away in the front smelling up the entire slip producing some of the best tasting brew I've ever had.
I snapped a few shots and got in a couple short interviews before the guys had to head out on a training ride. I'm looking forward to my next visit to the roastery.
