now that i am at the bike show to work its not nearly as fun...
Because of people coming up to me saying how much they enjoy(ed) the site i will... Start doing it again...
For a while it was really difficult to concentrate on with all what i had going on... But now i think i need to get back on it... Thanks to slover and hamblen and parke and steve hill (world champion) and nate and all for keeping things going...
i have a team that i am getting off the ground... So i will have that to talk about... I plan to do a separate site for that but my own site is a good place to start with a lead in to info for the team...
we will be 6 riders to start... Me and pat raines to lead and teach... And then 3 young riders who are set to go but i wont name names for a while... I have one open spot in the team and i would like to have this one kid in particular but it remains to be decicded... for sure for 08 i will have him...
we will be racing almost exclusively in the southeast... Just because we are a devo team doesnt mean that our expectations will be low... i plan to be the top team in the region and if we are the best by the halfway point in the season then we will look to make some trips out of thearea to do some racing...
for the first year the gola is to win the big amateur events from md to ga... Some of the goals will be tour de moore and tour of shenanadoah... Rock hill... there are some nice nrc races that e can do as well and we want to make sure that we start those as well becase the selection for some of the events is competitive...
i talked with a lot of the team directors in the us about what we re doing and the initial response is very positive... Its a concept that i dont have sell them becuse they see instantly the value in a program that is turning out young twentysomethings that know what it is to be a bike racer and who can be counted on to show up everyday ready for work... Knowing what the job is and how it gets done...
my goal is to have a program that is so well respected that i can call any team and tell them to take a rider and they do... Because i have given teams nothing buut quality riders before...
it will go well
the team right now is supported by TIME and our npo cyclesafe.Org... There are a few other sponsors that will come on but the deals need to finalized...
Look for more on this in the start of the new year... But likely we will have some things to talk about just after thanksgiving

isn't it jaugernaut? with an n?
I told you... going to tradeshows as a vendor, even as an exhibitor, can be pretty f%^&king brutal.
Oh, and for the LAST time, I am not joining your team. Not even in '08. I'm not even all that young anymore. Quit bugging me about it.
waaaweeee
i like that gruber didnt hop on the band wagon... it was truly sad to watch that race and it shows the esteem in which the title of "champion of the greatest nation on earth" is held by our top riders...
Hey, I think this is a really great idea. Good luck with it, I'm sure you will be successful.

comb your beard... i dont wanna hear that shit...
I glad to see working on your site. I'm not really in to the myspace thing.
Thank god your baby looks nothing like you, she is very cute!!
He did you get invited to do the REDBULL thing?
Last thing. Do you have a place for David Clinger on you team??
That's odd... I don't even have a beard. If I could grow one, maybe I would, but I just can't.
Can you please explain what your comment is supposed to mean?
Oh and by the way, wow, your program sounds great... I am so totally super impressed by your organizational skills. Can I be your friend?

And while we're at it, what the hell is "waaawweee" supposed to communicate?
