Brighton

This weekend marks the second race in our series this summer with the two day Brighton stage race.  Saturday will be a time trial in the morning followed by an afternoon short track race.  Dom and J9 are putting together a pot luck style picnic for this event, so if you are planning on attending, drop them a line to let them know what you can bring.

Sunday is the cross country race that you can race individually, but if you race the entire weekend, your points for the weekend will be doubled in the standings.

Kinetics is sponsoring this race so we hope to see quite a few rhinos out there racing and supporting our team.  Hope to see you all this weekend.

Happy trails,

John

Pontiac Lake TT - Saturday

Pontiac Lake Time Trial is this Saturday, and it is the first race in our USAC race series.  The team is planning on setting up out there about 9am and we will be there until the last rhino recieves his/her medal.  Feel free to come out and race with us, or simply come out and root for your rhinos.  Weather is supposed to be better with a high of 65.  Bring some warm gear for the morning, but it should shape up to be a great day.  Hope to see you there.

Race Season is coming!

The 23rd marks the beginning of the Tailwind race series.  I am sure many of you are fired up to race.

Due to the inconsistent weather this spring we have had trouble getting the group together for pre-season rides.  We will certainly get everyone organized soon to get things going.

This leads me to the reason for my post:  I need to know who we have coming out this season for the team.  I would like to know who is racing, what your goals are for the season, the category you plan to race, etc.  If you have a race resume, that would be the best way to compile this information.  I need to organize our season to best help you support your goals for the season.  Please email me your information at your earliest convenience. 

finally, watch the cycling news section of the site for all ride information through the season.  I will be posting rides, as I'm sure others of you will as well, and it will be the best place for us to stay in constant communication.  If you have subscribed to receive emails from that forum, you may want to do so.

See you all next weekend!

Call for Pictures

I am looking for picture from the 2010 season for the website. If you have any pictures of rhinos in action that you would like to share from the 2010 season, please send them to frccmtnteam@gmail.com

Thanks,

John
