Hello Crew!

Well, we've had some very nice, scenic rides in the last couple of weeks! Having run out of daylight, the Barnsburg mid-week rides have quietly slipped into hibernation. But weekend mountain bike rides and road rides have been excellent! Several of our MTB riders have participated in some great rides recently! The Cumberland Cycles Club MTB rides have been very well populated and we've had some great activity from the Somerset Community College (KCTCS) crew as well. Cumberland Cycles MTBr's have been going down in to the Big South Fork for some unbelievably scenic rides and they've been riding at Pulaski Park as well. Our KCTCS folks (also claimed by Cumberland Cycles) get around the state a bit I think, and ride in diverse and unique places as well. Our college campus MTB crew recently provided some cycling information for a really nice article in the campus newspaper!
Our road riders/racers have been taking some time off but have been riding some as well. We have several riders who are slated to do extremely well on the national amateur or masters circuits next year. Our sponsors are now all in, and the 2008 Cumberland Cycles Racing Team Uniforms will be ordered in the next couple of days. More on this later, but these uniforms are not for our racers alone! We hope to outfit every cyclist in the area with our new uniforms! We will have standard jerseys and shorts, bibs, skin suits and tri suits available as well as sleeveless outfits!
Our multi-sport athletes have been pouring it on strong in our team rides. I sure would love to convert a few of these fellows over to our road team! Even though they are concentrating on running events in the late fall and winter, they still come out to perform very strongly on our team rides!
Kentucky/Indiana Spring Series
We are scheduled to host a Kentucky/Indiana Spring Points Series Event on March 22, 2008, and we are very proud of this honor. We want to thank Brad Herrman for all of his work getting this event scheduled for our area. WE NEED INPUT FROM THE CLUB AND TEAM! We are looking for courses and races names. If you have anyideas for a course and a race name, please forward it to us. YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE ON THE RACE TEAM TO PUT IN IDEAS!!!! We want this to be a great event, and we expect this to be an annual event for the next several years, so we want to come up with a great course and a great name. All of our racers will be participating in the event, so we really need out MTBr's and our club riders to volunteer for Marshalling duties. Your help would be greatly appreciated. This event and this entire series will be attend by several national champions, worlds mentalists, Olympic hopefuls, and MOST OF THE BEST CYCLING TEAMS IN THE MIDWEST. It will not be an extremely large event, with all of the hubub of a typical summer race, but it will be an important event to the people racing.

I rode today, and even though it was 45 degrees, I swore it was more like 12. I kept remembering last winter; how we trained all winter long and how I doubted I could weather the weather again... The trick is getting out in the cold weather as it comes. By the time it goes from a 45 degrees in November to 25 degrees in January, we will all be used to it. And Cumberland Cycles is here to help! Cycling and training through the winter will not be a problem, so long as we continue to get out and ride in the cooler weather. As the weather gets worse, we will get tougher, so long as we continue to get out in it! Marc, down at the shop, has the shelves filled with winter gear.... anything and everything we need to continue training through the cold weather.

Brad Herrman and Charles (Chuck) Senters have been busy building a web page for our club and team. The quality of this work is far, far better than my Blog. Please make this site a regular Internet stop while you are surfing! Please note that our club and race team weekly information, ride and race schedules will be posted here!
