C-dale Art Redux

Cannondale's 09 paints do not include any versions of yellow/gold, nor a usable blue, so we had to remove that. But we did get some very custom additions.

Jersey Order Placed

The new jersey order was place today. Expected delivery is early February.

Random Something

I was surfing the internet looking for ideas on how to improve this website, and I ran across StumbleUpon.com. I found some amazing things while looking at things related to bicycles, including a working bike made entirely of Wood, and a bike that I think is an awesome piece of art, but I doubt its rideable.

Traffic Safety Skills Clinics

For the past few years now, a local rider has been donating some of his winter riding time to help make cycling safer for those willing to take a class. It's broken into 3 3.5hour sessions, and can be offered most times if theres at least 4 people interested. A schedule has been made for this winter season. Check it out. These classes are recommended for anyone who rides. Its especailly good for those who are afraid of riding in traffic, and those who commonly ride on the road.

In order to race in collegiate series you must purchase a USAC license. Collegiate is $30, and is good for 1 calendar year, so next mountainbike season would also be covered.
