Hello Crew,

 

Marc Travis, at the bike shop, continues to be incredibly busy. Tuesday and Thursday nights at the Barnesburg Church - we are filling the parking lot with riders both team and club.  Mr. Brad Hewlett has continued to be a tireless advocate of sport and club bike riding in our area.   As of today, the Cumberland Cycles Team and Club as put 140 riders in 600 points baring events!  This is not even including Bard Hewlett's biweekly rides. We have a total of 47 cyclists who have scored in our club's 2009 points race. We have had a great year. I will collect national standings on our core racing team sometime in mid September and publish them to the club.   But I can tell you, the impact we have had as a team and club and shop has been extremely dynamic in the states of Kentucky, Tennessee and Indiana this year.

 

The Team has four races left.  We will be scattered between Indy and Chattanooga this weekend, but we will hold our August Barnesburg Time Trial Event on Sunday, August 31 - we hope to have everybody out to post a time..... racers and non-racers!!!!! 

 

 

Focus Event for Cumberland Cycles - Tour De London - Kentucky State Road and Crit Championships -

regester here:  www.Turesport.com

While we have had riders participate in the National Championships this year, as well as national calendar events.  We are now focused on our final event; the Kentucky State Road and Criterium Championships, which will be held in London, Kentucky on September 6th and 7th. This race is the bitter or delicious end to a grueling racing season for many of our riders.  We, as a club and a team and a shop, invite you to get involved in this race. Come out and feed/water our road racers.... or come on Sunday to watch the dynamic and exciting Criterium in Down Town London..

 

A Cumberland Cycles Club/Community Ride - IMPORTANT

Shortly after the Kentucky State Championships, I think it would be a good idea to integrate the club and team for some nice rides this fall. Our racers have nothing to train for and it would be a great opportunity for our two groups to get to know each other - these rides would be not contested... I would hope for a lot of chatting in the peleton..... In my two years back in cycling, I have not year ridden a mile with our Core Sponsor, Marc Travis.... I would love to have some saddle time with Marc - in the mist of a beautiful fall. In fact, I would love to ride a long ride with everybody in our community who loves to ride a bike. We will arrange it. Expect me to be at the rear, coming up with the slowest.  Fall is the best time to take your time and observes nature - and be with other cyclists.

 

Please watch for an event we will sponsor this fall.... and please come out to ride with me, and your team, and your club and your shop and your sponsors.

 

After Tour De London

My Dad and I plan to go trout fishing.... I plan to dig ginseng... I plan to hike some of the Sheltowee Trace National Recreation Trail and I plan - I plan to do anything but train in cycling. I need to take it easy for a while... read some books... what ever.

 

Team Development will begin on November 1st, 2008
