Crew News

 
Hello  Everybody,

The news from the Series organizers is that "The Racing is On!!!" This coming Saturday our road racing season officially begins in Louisville with event #1 of the Kentucky/Indiana Spring Cycling Series. L' Esprit Road Race.

All of our winter core racers will be attending this race, and I am very excited about it. We should have one of the largest teams in the CAT IV/V field and any one of our riders could win this race!  JT will be racing alone again this year in the CAT III/IV field for the series and will probably get clobbered in these first few races. Kentucky Indiana Road Race Series

We have a few riders who intend to race the entire series this year!  This will involve eight races and will run from March 1 until April 19. One of these races will be conducted here in Pulaski County. Since the KYIN Series keeps score from week to week, there will be a general classification winner in each category.  I expect that Adam Bourne, Charles Senters, Jay Garman, and Aaron Denney could win a top-five classification by the end of the series, with Mr. Senters as my pick and Mr. Bourne as a very close second.  Mr. Bourne intends to do some running races this spring, while Mr. Denney does not intend to race the entire series as he and his wife, Jenny will start racing in Tennessee and other series before the end of ours. Mr. Garman is a single parent and is also in college, so he may not be able to attend all of the races. Mr. Senters (Charles) has a child on the way, but so long as his job does not get out of control, and his wife does well,  he is planning to race the entire series. As strong as he has gotten, I am sure that he will get a top five placement in the general classification of this series. JT also plans to race the entire series, but he will be in a different category and he may get a top ten GC.

After the KY In Spring Series, all of our racers will begin to race in other states, most notably, Tennessee. Starting in April and continuing through the rest of the year, we have many stage races that our crew will be attending. These races are the root of our racing year and it is when JT plans to peak in the masters fields when Adam, Charles, Jack and the rest of the "over 30" crowd can join JT in races.

Also racing this weekend is Dr. Henry - one of our multi-sport athletes. Dr. Henry will be racing this year in several triathlons and multisport events and will also be racing in some cycling events as well as a Category V. The race that Dr. Henry is hoping to attend this Sunday is Event #2 of the Max Performance Triathlon Series. Kentucky Triathlon Calendar at TriFind.com
