Hello Crew!

Barnsburg Time Trial #4 - June 26

A total of twelve riders braved the mid-summer heat and posted a time in our 4th Barnsburg Time Trial of the Season. The temperature was hot, and so were the times! Even though a new course record was not set, Mr. David Hays posted the fastest time of the day at 19:25.  David currently holds the course record at 18:22.  JT was only 9 seconds behind David with a time of 19:34 and Adam Bourne broke the 20 minute barrier coming in just ten seconds behind JT at 19:44. 

The event produced five personal records (PR) for this course and we are very pleased with the turnout and the times!

The 5th Barnsburg Event will be held on Sunday, July 22, first rider off at 2 PM.


Mid-SummerTeam/Club Ride Saturday
Roger Whitlock will be hosting a very nice 55 mile ride in the western Pulaski County area this coming Saturday Morning. It is my understanding that this is a very nice ride and he is asking everybody to come out and join him for this 2007 "mid-point" summer ride.  It will begin at 7 AM at the Nancy Post office. Please contact Roger for more information. Roger.Whitlock@lpnt.net

YEAR END RACING
Although I have been very busy with my son this summer, I do plan to race in August and September!  There are some really good year end races coming up and I plan to get back into peak condition for the Tour De London.

We would also like to announce that Brad Hermann is organizing a circuit race for the Burnside Festival (Formally known as the Catfish Festival). It will be held on about September 15, 2007.   Brad is doing a great job meeting with the folks from Burnside - selecting a course - getting it all organized. I think the event will be very attractive this year and should be a very exposed event for our club.  Wewant to begin to encourage EVERYBODY in the club to come out and participate in this event.  We already have approval from the Highway Department to close down part of US HW 27 in front of Reno's.

This will be a non-sanctioned club event, open to anybody with a bike. It appears that there will be two racing categories, experienced and novice.  The experienced competitors field would consist of anybody who has ever raced in a bike race or multisport event. The novice field would consist of anybody would has never raced but would like to see what it is like.

Much more on this later. Stay tuned or contact Brad Hermann for more details.


Remember to support Cumberland Cycles in any way possible!!!!!!  It is time to get started on 2008!!!
