Hello Crew!
 
We've had several team members out racing this weekend past.  Aaron Denney, Jack Evans, Adam Bourne and Roger Whitlock all participated in the Jeff Roth Memorial Omnium Stage Race in Knoxville. Roger participated in the time trial stage and got 6th place in his category!  Jack Evans raced in the road race and finished 8th after a very good race. Adam Bourne DNF'd in the road race due to a punctured tire and that's a hard pill to swallow but it happens (Adam was in the lead pack when he flatted). Aaron Denney raced in all three races (time trial, road race and crit) and so he got Ominum points as well. Aaron placed 3rd over all in the stage race in the Category V section!  So Aaron has broken the 300 points level in our club points system! 

Mark Henry, one of our clubs strongest multi-sport athletes, raced in Columbus, Indiana  in the Columbus Challenge Sprint Triathlon but we do not have his results. I am sure he placed well.

JT spent some high quality time with is Son in Indy over the weekend and that has lifted his spirits a great deal.

Cumberland Cycles
There are not very many races left in the year.  We have BMW in Chattanooga, at least one more club time trial, probably two, tour de London and then our own Burn side Race. Some of our club members have been extremely active this year and I am so very proud of what we have done here this year!  We have become noticed regionally in our races - andthis is thanks to club members JT, Jack Evans, Aaron Denney, Brad Hermann, Adam Bourne, Roger Whitlock, Charlie Bailey and others.  We have several riders ranked #1 in the State of Kentucky in their age and cat divisions. What more could a team captain ask for? 

Let us now look to the Tour De London  - the Kentucky State Championships, and see if we can't pull off some really high finishes.

Annual Dinner
We will have our first annual dinner on October 6th at the Doolin House, in down town Somerset. We need for everybody to RSVP so that we know how much food to order!  We will send out RSVP instructions later.
