Mindset, tactics, and community sit at the center, with plenty of laughs in between. • founding story of the salty dogs • mindset shifts from survival to strategy • racing upgrades, team roles and finishes • tactics for crit positioning and energy budget • kit design, branding and a club line • community work with kids, helmets and bikes • national travel, ambassadorship and culture • gear favorites, dream routes and classics • selection philosophy for future teammates Instagram @saltydogscycling
