Grove Innovations team photos and more

[Grove88]

Here are some photos of the Grove team taken at races in Western Pa. Most the time the team raced in Pennsylvania and West Virginia. There were a couple trips to Mt. Snow Vermont and the Ross Swatch Race in Wendell State Forest in Massachusetts. Bill brought a small camping trailer to the Ross Swatch race and we slept in tents. It rained 3 of the 4 days and we used the camper for meals and to keep warm and dry clothes. I wish I had pictures from that race and I will try to locate some. I bought my Grove Assault in 1986 and still have the same bike today. Bill painted it 4 times, the last time was around 1995 when the brakes were moved from the chain stays to the seat stays.

I remember Bill setting up the bikes with low rise stems and it looks like most if not all were changed. Greg was our best rider and I remember him trying the low rise and not liking it. Thanks for the comments.
