Cumberland Cycles News - March 5 - A lot going on


We have three races this coming weekend - our team is considering two of them:  Jack Evans and JT are going to participate in the South Knoxville Road Race:  While Adam Borne may be going to Race #2 of the Spring Series in Henryville Indiana.  Adam may have placed high enough in last weeks Spring Series at L'Esprit to gain some GC points and he may be in the hunt for a good placement in the overall Series.  If Adam did land in the points then he certainly should go to Henryville instead of Knoxville - but Jack and I are going to Knoxville along with Bob Brooks - my coach from Indy.  If Adam did not acquire any points (it is still questionable due to a pack sprint crash) then Adam may opt to go to Knoxville with Jack and I.  Anyone wishing to compete in the Knoxville race must register either online before the race or Friday night at the Fairfield inn the night before the race.  There will be NO "Day Of" registration".  You will be able to register on the day of the race at Henryville.
 
There is also a crit on Sunday March 11 in the Knoxville area which I will not be participating - If you are interested in this race here is the link:  Southern Cycling Operations

DONT FORGET!!  The next Series Race will be held on March 17 just one hour from Somerset in Columbia:   Green River Road Race.  If we have a Cat V rider (Adam) in the points already then Cumberland Cycles Crew needs to complete the series in support of Adam!  After the Columbia race there will be four more races in that series.  Here they are:   Series Races

DONT FORGET about the Laurel Lake Mt Bike Ride for beginners and intermeds conducted by our sister shop - The London Bike Shop/Dave Grisby - March 10 at Laurel Lake: Kentucky Mountain Bike Association

UP AND COMING CENTURY RIDE:   Anniston: City News Cumberland Cycles Crew Club Rider Jeff Coniack will be attending this one -

JT and his Dad will be taking a weekend off from racing to do a tour: Even though it is not an offical "Father/Son" event - my Dad and I are approaching it in that fashion:  We'd love to have any Cumberland Cycles Crew join us for this very excellent cycling event!  :
3-State 3-Mountain

YELLOW FLAG RIDES: 
Rides for our non-racing club members will commence next week after the time chance!!!!  Stay tuned!!!!!  We have several great riders ready to go!
 
LONDON BUNCH/PACELINERS
Our London cycling friends were hosted to a ride this past weekend in Pulaski County by Dave/Tim Howard and Jeff Coylier.  Dave Grisby - owner of The London Bike Shop wrote a glowing review of the ride and I would like to thank Tim and Jeff for hosting our very respectable London Neighbors.  All of our crew needs to plan on visiting our London group for a training ride sometime soon as they have some very excellent and accomplished riders! They are the hosts of our last official race of the year - the biggest one!!!  The Tour De London And that is just one indication of how cohesive our fellows and gals from just to our east really are!  We would all further our cycling careers to embrace the London bunch as folks we can share with and learn from!
