Welcome to our new sponsor - American Classic

Just heard some great news - American Classic has decided to sponsor the team. So hopefully soon the team will be sporting some new hoops. We have all been surfing their site looking at some awesome wheel sets. On our list are the Race wheels, Wide lightings, Hurricane's for Cyclocross and road training. Check them out here.

                                      

Race Report - Winter Short Track Race #1

It was the first time the team was going to be racing all together. That is until Dread caught the flu- get well soon buddy. He should be back by Race #2. The vibe wasn't as electric as last year but there was a Panthers Playoff game (we lost) and the Rumble in the Concrete Jungle as well that day, so the mountain bikers were split on 2 competing events. It had rained all day on Saturday- The course was very muddy. The short track is made for the wet winter but it was too much! Still a good time was had by all. Check out some the photos from Race #1.

Race Report- North Carolina Grand Prix

It's been said a picture is worth a thousand words, by my calculations this post is over 5,000!

the mud was worse than it looks

I wanted 1 day of racing in epic conditions this season - I'm pretty sure I got it. It was a good experience but I hope I never face that again. It was so bad I couldn't get my buckle to release from my shoe- I had to get in the shower with 1 shoe and my muddy bibs. The water finally loosed the mud's grip on my buckle. Dear Hotel maid, I'm really sorry the bath tub was full of mud & grass. I felt so bad I had to leave her a tip before I left.


I'm still having nightmares about that mud. Oh yeah, these guys were there too!
