March 26

We are going to hold our second 2007 time trial at Barnsburg on Sunday April 1 at 2PM.  Parking is available at Barnsburg Church located on kyhw 80 about five miles east of Somerset.  If you desire to complete the course and post a time - be sure to check in at the start/finish before 2 PM to receive your start time.  The start/finish is located at the junction of Barnsburg Road and kyhw 80 about 1 mile west of Barnsburg Church.   PLEASE COME OUT AND WATCH!  Ride your bike on out to the Barnsburg church and support those who are posting times!  Mingle and get integrate yourself into our cycling community!  You don't have to post a time to be a part of our club or team!

This event is an open non-sanctioned event and every rider rides at their own risk - it is open to anybody who would like to attend.  We are hoping to have some of our London folks come over and post a time!  You don't have to be a team racer or even a club rider!  Just show up and ask for a start time and we will take care of the rest! 

If you do not want to compete - we could also use some club volunteers!  We could use timing staff - star/finish pre/at/post rider identification.  We need holders and we need course marshals - So if you are a club rider and want to get involved with our event - please show up between 1 PM and 130 PM and we will certainly put you to work!  We also need spectators! 

The rest of our racing year is filling up pretty fast - I would say that about 80% of our regional races have been scheduled and they may be found here: Cumberland Cycles Races

Our races include three time trial series up in Indiana each consisting of 10 to 15 events- one of which will allow us to compete as a four man team!  The Monrovia Time Trial Series allows four man teams to compete in the 40 K time trail!  I think that we should begin to form a time trial team to go up to Monrovia to post a 40K (25 mile) time of 60 minutes or less (25 MPH average)  in this first year of our team! A team goal!  We will begin to recruit those 4 team members after this Sundays Barnsburg Time Trial event!  The four fastest team member finishes will be offered a spot on the squad - refusals will result in offerings to the next fastest times -

Our non-team members will be competing for shop points!  These will be redeemable at for goods and services at Cumberland Cycles!

I am not sure but I think that our team must complete our best running of Monrovia by July 1st in order to be ranked in the USCF District - but i'm not sure - We may do any Monrovia event from now until July as I understand it and they will accept our fastest turn - See our race schedule for event dates at Monrovia - Once the 4-member squad has been selected - we will all meet and decide when we want to post our time - We will also have to train together a few times before the event!  Thats for sure!
