The Crew had an excellent ride to the Sinking Valley Winery Christmas Eve. Eight riders showed up and we made a good appearance at the tasting room! They know who we are now for sure so maybe we could eventually end up with a small sponsorship from them! It was a very nice 38 mile ride which saw several riders driving back out to the place after the ride to purchase some wine!
There have been several rides - Jack E Harvey S and Rick R all continue to train through the winter. With the holidays - mileage's have dropped and that is to be expected - but it is the New Year now and we are exactly five weeks before the first sanctioned road race!!! Of course - early races are virtually meaningless but they are good training exercises and I am hoping that a few Cumberland Cycle Crew Members will Join me on Feb 10 up near the Ciny Intrntnl Airport for this fist official road race just to hang on to the pack. After that- there is a bike race every weekend within 200 miles of Somerset for the rest of the year! All of this culminates in September for the Kentucky Road Race Championships which will be held in London! Even if you have been completely dormant for a long time- you still have plenty of time to get ready to race for us and we would love to have you join in on the fun! It only takes about six to eight weeks of highly focused and dedicated training to prepare yourself for good finishes!
In the mean time several team members have been busy building up good carma by training in some very nasty weather! rain/cold/high hills - long climbs and massive head winds; carma in as much as no effort goes unrewarded! And based on some group rides lately - I think the "Crew" will do well!
I am hoping to talk Jack E in to holding a mid-winter eight mile time trial sometime soon for anybody who wants a mid-winter result -
As always- please support Cumberland Cycles in every possible way!!
