Hello Crew,

Cumberland cycles blog:  http://journals.aol.com/moonsovrbend/cumberland-cycles-crew-racing-te/

Things are heating up as I figured they would after Christmas. Brad Herrman and JT will be attending a KYIN Race Series organizational meeting in Louisville on January 5. I am looking forward to this meeting as I am sure it will be informative and will help put Mr. Herrman's mind at ease about this tiger he feels he has by the trail!

For more information regarding the spring series, please consider joining the promoters discussion group for the series.

Race schedules are rolling in by the day and it is time for all of us to get on our bikes!!!!  I will be back home in the next few days and I plan to hit the road pretty hard for the next six weeks.

As the Cumberland Cycles Team Captain, I must, at this time, implore our road cycling team to adopt a basic regiment. Bearing in mind that I am not a sanctioned coach, let me offer the follow, basic workout plan.

MONDAY - REST
TUESDAY - SHORT INTENSE SPRINT INTERVALS
WEDNESDAY - LONG ROAD MILES
THURSDAY - LONG INTENSE SPRINTS - TIME TRIAL OR BRIDGING EFFORT INTERVALS
FRIDAY - REST
SATURDAY - LONG RACE SIMULATION
SUNDAY - LONG RACE SIMULATION

For much more detailed training, we recommend that you hire a personal cycling coach. We have two sanctioned coaches available for hire. Mr. Bob Brooks from Indianapolis, Indiana is already working with a few of our team mates. Bob is along time friend of JT and Walter Thompson.  

We also have Mr. Dave Grigsby with the London Bike Shop who is an excellent cycling coach.

CONTACT JT FOR CONTACT INFORMATION FOR BOB OR DAVE.

The 2008 Cumberland Cycles Uniforms will be available in the next couple of weeks. Immediately after we receive those uniforms, we MUST SCHEDUAL A TEAM PHOTO SESSION. Please stay tuned and ready to leap when those uniforms come in so we can get our promotional photographs taken!

Happy New Year Everybody!!!!!  2008 is going to be a great year for our club, our team and our shop!
