Here are the details again:

Meet at the bike shop (Cumberland Cycles) at 4PM.  After the photos, for anybody who wants to, the club will migrate down to the Burnside Pizza Pub for beer and pizza.

INVITATIONS:
Photo #1:  Everybody who has a bicycle and lives in South Central Kentucky and would like to support our team and club in this manner.  Come as you are.

Mt Biking
Tent Pool and several other of our mountain bikers have been very active this winter. They've been riding some of the loveliest trails in the Daniel Boone National Forest.  Last Sunday, the MTB Crew rode about 8 miles total, and during their ride, they found a nice, river-worn boulder to rest on... Wow, It makes me miss the woods.  Trent and the gang have been doing some great trail rides over the last several weekends in the DBNF and the BSFNRRA.. Be sure to contact Tent if you'd like to join them in their MT Biking Adventures!  TMPOOL525@alltel.net. 

Club and Sport Cycling
The road racing unit of our cycling club has held our club president, Brad Herrman, hostage for many months now.  He and our club VP, Charles Senters have been very busy organizing Somerset's first USA Cycling Event in history. That event goes off on March 22, so after that, the racing team will release our club officers to focus their official business to the club and sport riders in our community.

It will not be too much longer before the weather warms up and the days get longer. I am looking forward to seeing all of our cycling enthusiasts on the road in 2008.  Please let us know what we can do to facilitate a successful 2008 sport cycling season in our community!!! 

ROAD RACING
Bard Herrman and Charles Senters have done an outstanding job bringing the Kentucky/Indiana Spring Road Series to Pulaski County!!!  This event is now official and is a part of a nine race series. That series website can be found here:  http://www.kyanaseries.com/ 

The race flyer may be found here:   Mount Victory Road Race

This event will start and finish at the Stab Firehouse.  This is where the Sam Catron Memorial is located. It will leave the firehouse area and span out to Mt. Victory and come back.

If you are considering entering this event, please bare in mind that this is a highly completive series and while you are encouraged to come out and race, the Kentucky/Indiana Series races are not generally considered to be an easy place to begin your racing career (unless you are a junior racer). Bike races later in the year generally have a novice or citizens category, designed to give the beginning racer a taste of what bike racing is like. Those races (later in the year) are a better place to start. If you want to race in The Mt. Victory Road Race, you will need to become certified at USAcylcing.org.

BUT If you are a cycling enthusiast in our area, WE NEED YOUR HELP!!!  We need volunteer course marshals by the dozens, so please contact Chuck Senters (zapodx@newwavecomm.net) or Brad Herrman (flyingchicken55@yahoo.com) if you can help out in any way.

If you are going to race with us this coming year, please visit our USA Cycling Web Site:   USA Cycling Clubs - Cumberland Cycles, Inc
