After 14 seasons of loyal service Nathan "The Tror-blazer" Trourbaugh has decided to retire from Professional Cycling and snap up a coaching slot at TB following Coach Michelsen's departure from the coaching staff.
From a relatively privileged background, private school educated (he always carried around with him his lucky silver spoon) he met, befriended and followed fellow cyclist Halden Spearman and the two have become inseparable (privately and professionally) ever since. Similar to Halden, Nathan, a keen cobbler, developed a cycling niche in Cobble-Sprint races from their Cambridge University days and followed Halden into TB a year after Halden joined.
Trourbaugh was very much the workhorse of the "solicitors" as the Trourbaugh-Spearman relationship developed within TB. He joined the TB youth academy in S43 and his first three seasons were fairly non-descript before transferring on pro-terms in S46 and picking up his first place in the D7 Javorina - Vrbov. Trorbuagh also quickly benefitted from the expertise of TEam Captain Michelsen and played an important supporting role to Spearman as he assumed the Vice-Captaincy and for much of Trourbaugh cycling career he was very much under Spearman's shadow.
That being said Trourbaugh did pick up some notable achievements, namely his win at the Szczecin CBGP in S49 and the TB best performance in Ukraine at the Stachanov and indeed seasons 49-53 were his most fruitful for picking places and in some cases podiums.
A quiet shy but intelligent rider, very loyal to team TB and to his fellow riders but we are very glad that he will join Halden as part of TB's coaching set-up.
