Today I spoke with Geraint Parry, a rider for the Bloomington cycling club known as Tortuga, about his riding experiences and who he things the teams to contend for the title this year will be. Parry's love for the sport began while watching Stage Three of the Tour de France in 1989. He has recently started his own Bloomington biking blog known as Bloomington Velo-News, which offers updates on biking across Bloomington.
Here is the audio from the interview.
Parry said Cutters, Delta Tau Delta, the Black Key Bulls, Gray Goat Cycling, Alpha Tau Omega and Phi Delta Theta are the teams to beat on the men's side, while Team Major Taylor and Dodds House may hit a bit of a slump this year.
He also said that Kappa Alpha Theta, Delta Gamma and Kappa Delta are the favorites, with Wing It as a possible "dark horse" team.
