Team Kit, check.....Team Frames, check
















This week the Team's Fisher frames arrived and the whole crew is fired up! Our SRAM parts groups should arrive sometime in February and then it will be time to build 'em up. The new team clothing is also on order and slated to arrive in time for the the start of the season. Everything that we hoped would happen for the team has panned out and now we just are just training as best we can in these frigid temps. I hope to get some pictures of the new clothing design for the blog soon. Stay tuned.......

Craig and Troy braved the temp in the teens this weekend to get in some training. Nice work boys!

The 2009 season is near!

It's hard to believe that the 2009 cycling season is just a month away! Just last week was the last cyclocross race for the season in Kansas City!


The final cross race was the Grote Prijs Shawnee in Shawnee KS. Race day was greeted with a balmy 40 degree temps and sun, crazy conditions for January. I had taken some time off the bike since Nationals so I decided to race the Masters race and then do the 1,2,3 race an hour or so later. It was more of a quest for fitness than results, a fun way to end the cross season! It was fun duking it out with the local KC crew during the races and I even managed a 3rd in the Masters race and 6th in the 1,2,3's.

So now it's time to put the cross bikes away and look forward to the coming season.


After Cyclocross Nationals most of our team members called it a season and took some time off the bike to get caught up with the things in life that you put aside while you are training and racing. But now the bug has bitten and I see evidence that team members are beginning to prepare for the 2009 season. Everybody has been working on their base miles on the road or mountain bikes and I hope to organize a training camp sometime this spring.

yea, sometime after Craig's water bottle thaws out!
