Lasscassas Road race - March 17
 
Hello Crew!~

TEAM BLOG:   team blog
EVENTS:   Cumberland Cycles Races

I have received several requests to remove folks from the mailing list and I have made an attempt.  If you are receiving this email and do not want to continue - please let me know and be patient since it takes some time!

We had a great weekend of racing this past weekend!  Jack E - Jeff E and Adam Bourne all raced in the KY IN racing series race at Columbia Kentucky and we had some great results!   Jeff E placed in the main field (which had been cut down about 90 percent!  Jeff finished 7th and earned 9 pnts!  Adam placed 13th and earned 3 pnts!  Jack placed about 20th and had a great race. 
 
Jeff Ekoniak has the highest placement so far of any club racer and we want to congratulate him on his excellent effort!  We also want to encourage him to KEEP IT UP!!!  Great Job Jeff!


JT and Frank Cornett raced at Lasscassas near Nashville Tennessee last weekend and JT punctured both tires on rough road after the first 20 mile lap.  Frank Cornett placed 4th in the Masters 60+ race and earned BAR Pnts.  JT went on to compete in the time trial that afternoon but those results have not been published.  JT may have gotten last or first or anything in between!

CLUB POINTS STANDINGS
If you race for Cumberland Cycles - you will earn 3 club points for each event you start (reglardless of finish).  This includes our own club time trial events. To these three participating points - we will add your placing points awarded by the race series:  We will keep track of these points for you!  Here is our club standings after the first four races (including our own time trial)

The club will also pay points for tris or tours that our club members do whilewearing Cumberland Cycles gear!  Just let us know what events you have compelted and we will add your points.  We are hoping to get some sponserships this fall - and the club will pitch in (and personally donate if we have to) and give the club points winner a $300 gift certificate at Cumberland Cycles!

TEAM FOUNDATION
Remember it is not anywhere too late for you to train and race in 07!  Let us know if you'd like to train and race this summer and fall!  We can help! 

If you have always wanted to race bikes but never got around to it - now is the time to start putting down a foundation for 2008!  We are looking for men - women - juniors (boys and girls aged 13-17) and masters (30+) to race for our team!  Remember this is Cumberland Cycles Foundation year and if you are not in shape to race this spring or even this year doesn't mean you can't get started on your goals for this fall or even next year!!!  We have some foundation rides every week now at Barnsburg so now is the time to come on out and join in on the fun and fitness and excitement!!!   

Our Foundation rides from Barnsburg every Tuesday and Thursday will be completely non-competitive and are designed to promote and recruit club riders in our community.  It would be a great place to begin or re-begin your cycling career!
