It's not all fun and games for Eric during the winter. Wins don't come easy. The offseason is still equally important in Eric's mind. "During the winter I still make sure that I do my workouts. I have a cardio workout that I do everyday," says Eric. Away from training there are other things to do before the harsh winter comes. "Every year we make sure we get the bikes completely torn down to the frame and the parts cleaned out an freshened up for the up coming season," stated Irish Saunders. "Although there is alot to do in the offseason, it is all worth it in the end."
