After 16 years of TaG some folks dont know it stands for Tomlinson and Grain. Gina found these old photos from our first meetings as competitors in 1999&2000 at Bastion Square Crit. Gina undoubtedly outsprinted me. But we spent many quality minutes off the front building a friendship..ha. and trying to beat each other Gina and I founded TaG in 2010. Its fun to remember where we started
Thanks @gordfraser1 for this great #tbt. With team mate @claraannehughes Road World Championships Oslo 1993 where I had to ride my TT bike all week training waiting for a road bike to show up the day before the road race..Ha so comfy... Good Times!
We were 5th for Canada in the TTT powered by Clara's big lead engine . Of course from here we know Clara went on to make history with Olympic Medals in summer and winter Olympics
Memories of those times and the Team Kahlua squad are gold! We were one of the first women's Pro teams and the roster was who's who from North America back in the day

Wow.I forget some of the cool phases weve gone through.
My first business attempt with my best cycling mates of a couple of decades...The Shore Group Consulting... we didn't last that long. But collectively our big achievements in a short time were..founding and establishing the North Shore Mtb high school league...still runs today. We brought the World Cup Mtb event to Grouse Mtn with Gestev ,and designed the dh & xc courses. We did a lot of work with Whistler including being part of the initial Crankworx meetings! Eventually TSG disappeared...But everyone has continued to make a huge impression on the cycling community.
