FGA EXCHANGES SPORTS CARS AND PLAYING CARDS FOR PERFORMANCE BICYCLES*
It began in the early hours of July 7 as Nick Fluge climbed atop his Bally’s generically prepped cycle to begin “FGA Cycling Week”. Leaving behind the luxury of his 600 horsepower Z06 race car that speeds him by competitors, Fluge had to rely on his inner engine to move through automated flatlands and hill sections during the now legendary digital magical mystery stationary bike tour.
FGA Core Specialist Yelena King made periodic appearances to push Fluge towards his goal (similar to her efforts during their summit of Africa’s Mount Kilamanjaro in 2007). Nick traversed 200 miles in 9 hours and 17 minutes (about 21 mph). The two day ride did not come without new FGA apparel. Friends and foes alike were sporting Fluge gear as the week progressed.

Troy Carter completed the week with a tremendous 200 mile race from Seattle to Portland. Over 9500 of the best bike competitors from all over the world were in force for the STP race and FGA and Carter could only hope that his 2008 training efforts would pay off. They did – he finished among the top riders and made it look easy.
Yelena King (also in training for her August FGA North vs FGA South Women’s Triathlon) was once again chief support for Team FGA. The first 15 miles of the event found Troy moving along Lake Washington with Mt. Ranier in the background. The next 185 miles took him through farmlands, small towns, and beautiful countryside and provided him with an excellent finishing time.
Another week in the year, another couple of FGA challenges and adventures, and another way of doing things – this time – “Green”.
