Wise Words


"Pain is temporary. It may last a minute, or an hour, or a day, or a year, but eventually it will subside and something else will take its place. If I quit, however, it lasts forever.” Lance Armstrong

Updates

Just wanted to let everyone know that the team kit from Champion System has shipped and should arrive on Friday. I will try and have everything sorted by individual person so that you can come by and grab everything that is yours. Not everything shipped with this order, but I don't know yet what items are coming later, I will keep everyone informed.

In case you werent aware, the SRAM Force groups have arrived and they are BEAUTIFUL! The cranksets look sweet, and the rear derailleurs are piece of art.

Still no word from Cannondale yet as to when the frames will arrive, but it looks like we are going to get socked with some really lousy weather anyways. Mechanic Rich is chomping at the bit the get the bikes built up for us before the rest of the inventory starts to show up.

If you need components to build your bikes such as stems, handlebars, seat posts etc. please contact Elvis so we can get the order processed as soon as possible.

Rich Delgado has dropped off samples of the Northwave Shoes for us to try on if you plan on getting a pair. If you are please get over to the shop on Friday and let them know what you want.

There will be a team meeting next week, either on Wednesday or Thursday evening at the shop to discuss and plan for the cyclocross event on Feb. 10th. Participation is mandatory at the event so mark your calendars now.

If you ordered Neuvation training wheels, they should be shipping shortly. We should expect them by late this week or early next week.

We are also currently finalizing arrangements with Spinergy Wheels for our racing wheels. It looks as though we will be getting four sets of the Xaero Lites with red spokes, and four sets of the Stealth SS. If you would like to purchase your own set, please contact Damon or Elvis.

Well I can't think of much else that has happened in the last few days. We are getting close on all fronts to having a race ready team. These last few weeks have certainly been frustrating and exciting for me at the same time. I hope everyone can appreciate all the hard work that has gone into organizing the team on your behalf.
