Mo' Cheddar is better at Sea Otter
Congrats to Morgan "Mo Cheddar" Schmitt on the win at the Sea Otter criterium. Morgan brought home the win and his BISSELL Professional Cycling team wrapped up the top FOUR positions. Morgan has been riding on strong form in 2009 - a long time coming for a still young cyclist. I have had the pleasure of working with Morgan for several years as a team director on the Broadmark cycling team, a mentor, and coach. He has also become a good friend over the years, which makes his success even more special. After glimpses of talent over the past five years with young rider jerseys and podium finishes at national championships he is coming into his own this year. Morgan finished college at the University of Washington last year and is now able to focus his time entirely on his cycling career. Morgan persevered through a tough Northwest winter with a solid training regiment this year. His hard work paid off when his early season form earned him sixth place overall at the San Dimas Stage Race. Morgan has stepped up each year during his professional career. Now in his third year with BISSELL (Priority Health previously) he has made the biggest jump to a contender on the national scene. For those close to him, it wasn't a matter of if but when he would make it. I'm happy to see his success and can't wait to see what the future holds for Mo' Cheddar.
