Racing season is almost upon us! It seems like just yesterday many of us were hosing down our CX bikes for the last time, looking forward to a few months of relaxation before the madness of the OBRA racing season starts back up.
The team capped off the year in style on 1/10 with our first ever awards banquet hosted by Steve Brown of Madison's Bar & Grill, produced by our very own maestro of media Burk Webb. The night was a grand success and we hope to continue the tradition for years to come. If you haven't had the opportunity to see the two amazing videos Burk produced, go check them out! The first video (watch it here)
kicked off the awards presentation, and the second was the debut of the long awaited video from our cyclocross event (watch it here) in 2009.
January was busy from the team management side. We completed our first order for 2010 with Pactimo, got 95% of the team roster caught up on dues, welcomed a number of new racers, had a great informational seminar on bike fitting from Russell Cree, and have had a number of large team training rides focusing on specific group riding skills.
With February and weekend races fast approaching, the format for team rides will change a bit to allow for a bit wider variety of intensities or race prep, so continue to watch the forum for updates on what we'll be doing.
Upcoming Plans and important info:
- Currently working on getting our custom team tents design layout with E-Z Up. We are looking to get a 10x10 and a 10x20, along with some modular sides.
- 2/13 Cherry Pie - First race of the season.
- February team get-together (formally known as First Friday). We are looking to schedule a casual social gathering the evening of 2/13. Watch the forums for details.
- February seminar with Russell Cree, tentatively scheduled for 2/16
See you on the road!
