Cindy "Cindo" Faas Cindy and Phil Faas Continuing our series on meeting the One Aim team, our next team mate hardly needs an introduction.
One of the many canser survivors on One Aim, she’s also our most published blogger. She openly shared shared the story of her diagnosis, treatment, survival, and overall canser journey with the world through her My Inner Ninja blog. Ladies and Gentlemen, Cindy Faas. Cindy was a first time rider in 2015 and was joined on the ride by her husband Phil. They purchased themselves a pair of matching road bikes (so cute!) and quickly became regulars on any and all training rides they could attend. Cindy has quickly become a “social event” organizer with One Aim, having hosted team BBQ’s and arranging seating at Kildare’s for the Thursday night rides. Cindy also put together an amazing 3 part post on her Ride to Conquer Cancer which is definitely worth a read. Here is some more information about Cindy straight from the women herself: Tell us about yourself Cindy? Party loving, Breast cancer survivor (2 years March 31!) all weather camper, rookie rider, Nigel worshipping, Guinness loving, wordy blogger, mamma of 2 great kids and incredibly lucky wife to best half & teammate Phil How many times have you done the RTCC? 2016 will be my 2nd RTCC. Why do you Ride Cindy? To honour my Dad who died from pancreatic canser. To show others there is life after canser diagnosis. Cause of Matt Anderson's story. Also cause Nigel told me I could do it haha! We want to meet you Cindy Faas, where might we find you? You can find me on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday rides with One Aim. If I’m not there, then check the pub! What kind of bike do you ride? Bought my first (& only!) road bike April 2015...it's a small Norco Valence (2014 model?). Love it but I'm sure there's room for another ....isn't the rule 1 bike per year? (Editors comment: Yes, something like that!)

Alain "Joe" Jodoin Alain cruising on a Tuesday night Continuing our series on meeting the One Aim team, our next post is on the man, the myth, the legend:
Alain Jodoin. Alain was a new rider to One Aim last year, having been um… recruited by Mike Beauchamp to join the Ride. It’s been said of Joe that he can literally be convinced to do anything, which makes him a great husband, friend, co-worker, and team mate. Alain’s unique “chicken nugget” training regime is the envy of all his friends and co-workers, leading to his mastery of running events: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DJEdX72uhlE Here is some more information about Alain straight from the man himself: Tell us about yourself Alain? I’m a furious collector of “husband points” and a devoted follower of anything sports related: Hockey, Tennis, Golf, Baseball, Flag Football.... and especially Cycling since I joined One Aim. Other hobbies include "sampling" craft beers at my favorite pubs and spending great family time with my wife and 2 kids (sappy I know but I really need some more husband points). How many times have you done the RTCC? 2016 will be my 2nd RTCC. We want to meet you Alain Jodoin, where might we find you? You can find me on Tuesday and Saturday rides with One Aim. If I’m not there, then check the pub! What kind of bike do you ride? I got a fantastic deal on a Red & White Cannondale Synapse... Came with 2 brand new rims, tire repair kit and a One Aim "service warranty" of free tire pressure adjustments before every ride :) Thanks Mike Beauchamp! People call you Joe, but are there any other nicknames people have for you? There are definitely a few, but nicknames I can share: Joe - That's right my real name isn't Joe! Got it when I moved to Calgary... "Jo-doin" The Big Cat - My nickname out East In Montreal! Peacekeeper Joe - From the guy ski trips days. I was more of a diplomat and signed many ceasefire treaties. Is it true that you’ve worked with Mike for almost 4 years, and for 2 of those he actually thought your name WAS “Joe”? Yes, that guy is no good with names at all. He had to keep coming to my desk because he couldn’t figure out how to email me. Do you have a Favorite Movie? Yes, infact I do, it’s Happy Gilmore! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IK7FNjHVEag Find out more about Joe and why he Rides on his Ride page here: http://www.conquercancer.ca/site/TR/Events/Alberta2016?px=3807581&pg=personal&fr_id=1572 Want to join in the fun?

Hey Team!
We thought it would be fun to put together some posts about the Team as we head into the 2016 Ride season! First up is Kevin “Citizen” Jones! Kevin is one of the One Aim Captains and a founding member of the team. To his friends he is also known as “K-Dawg”, and secretly aspires to be Batman. Here is some information about Kevin straight from K-Dawg himself: Tell us about yourself Kevin? I like beer, riding, video games, beer, and long walks on the beach (with beer). How many times have you done the RTCC? 2016 will be my 8th year in the RTCC, and 7th as a part of One Aim! We want to meet you Kevin Jones, where might we find you? You can find me on the Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday rides. If I’m not there, then check the pub! What kind of bike do you ride? Green Kona hybrid. Much disparaged by bike snobs but I love it. What did you do with all those Clif Bars we got last year? Ate them. All of them.
