17th Annual Peter Teeuwen Memorial Ride


When I was first acquainted with the late Peter Teeuwen, it was less than 1 year after his passing. But going to the bike races with Tim proved this man's greatness. His impact was seen in all of the juniors who raced on the Tidewater Bicycle Association also known as TBA. Has it really been 17 years since that fateful year? So I made this cake as a depiction of the Bike jersey worn by TBA at the time. This team was lead by the late Peter Teeuwen, one of the greatest cycling coaches. Peter is missed by all who have known him in the local cycling community and his legend lives on.....
Remembering Peter:
Peter Teeuwen & Tim, Greenbriar Series May 1991.
Tim, Mike Tamayo & Lars Travis at Fort Story, Tour de Junque, Oct 1991.
Jon Nisbet, Tim & Mike Tamayo, after anayalating the junior field in downtown Portsmouth, May 1992.
