We were lucky to be invited to the team hotel for dinner on our last night and to get the chance to share with Tim (first of a few, I am sure) his formal farewell. With less than two weeks left till the Olympics and the full squad present it was a fitting time to pass on a few thoughtful gifts and kind words for all the hard work and dedication put in by not only Tim but the riders and support staff as well.
Jack mentioned in the car later that he had a wee lump in his throat from all the kind words everyone was saying about his Dad. How wonderful for the kids to see just a tiny part of what goes on both on and off the track. The man they look up to most in the world is a hero to them, as all Dads should be.
It has been an amazing journey for all and we hope all the riders make themselves proud to be a Kiwi in London.
