Excited about the upcoming season

To all may Cycle Logic teammates. I am glad to see that everyone had a good time on the group ride. The pictures are worth a thousand words. I apologize once again for not being there, and I am looking forward to the next time we all get together. I am extremely pleased to see that everyone pulled together and made this happen. If our past is any indication of what our future holds, then the cycling community better look out. It was only a few months ago, that five of us sat down and discussed the idea of starting our own team. It Just Made Sense. Since then we have grown astronomically and I expect that we will continue to grow.

It is exciting to see so many people interested in what we were trying to accomplish, not only from the stand point of riders, but also from sponsors. I would personally like to take the time now to thank all of them for their support. Thank you also, to everyone on or associated with the team that worked deligently on obtaining the sponsors we needed to make this all possible. It really is exciting to see what is possible when people get serious, propose a plan, and work together to make it happen. Our efforts have only begun. Now we can direct our focus towards the race season, where again, we can work together to make our dreams a reality. I look forward to riding, competing, and having fun together this coming season.

WHAT A SUCCESS!!

Wow!
What a month it's been.
It's hard to believe the team that is now almost 20 strong, only three months ago started with 5 people thinking; "hey, we ride together all the time.  Why don't we buy some matching jerseys?"
A month later, we had 12 members, and then 15, and now 19!!
 
I know everyone has been busting their humps this last month trying to get sponsors lined up to support the team throughout the year, and it looks like our efforts have really paid off.  I would like to thank everyone who put forth an effort to gain outside support for the team, and I would like to thank all of the sponsors who were so generous, and that really believed in our startup team.  The results I've seen of some of our members are astounding, and I feel that the Cycle-Logic Bicycle Racing Team will definitely be a force to be reckoned with in Florida Cyclilng in the coming year.  I mean come on, it just makes sense!!
 
My conversations with Paul throughout the day today have been positive as far as kit design goes, and it looks like we should have something submitted to the sublimator by tomorrow morning.  Our hopes are to receive the full kit order in time for the first race weekend, but as we go through the design/ sublimation process, we will get a better idea of where we stand for a ship date.
 
Our team group ride this weekend was a successful one.  It was exciting to see 15 of us rolling out of the park, two wide.  I could just imagine what we will look like dressed in full team kits!!  ...and the sponsorship that we've received!!  I don't know about anyone else, but I think Veronica was kind of excited about the UF & Shands Orthopaedic and Sports Medicine Institute.
 
I know Paul is plenty busy trying to put the finishing touches on the kits, but as soon as he gets some free time (maybe sometime in April) I'm sure he'll post some of the pictures from this past weekend.
 
I look forward to a successful year with my Cycle-Logic Teammates, and I hope you are all as excited as I am.

Christmas

Hello all my Cycle Logic teammates,
I just wanted to write and let everyone know what is going on with me. I was looking forward to our first group ride together on Sun. 12-17-06, but my vacation plans changed and now I will be leaving on the 16th. Unfortunately I am going to miss the ride. Those of you who have ridden with me before are probably relieved and for those who have not ridden with me will find out soon enough what its like. Just kidding, I think. I have ridden with several of our teammates before and even though I am not the best rider, I make one heck of a domestique. Just ask James, Vern, Ron, and John.

Anyway, I will be in the Smokey Mountains snowboarding the week of 12-16 through 12-23. Hopefully there will be another team ride in the near future that I can participate in. I hope all of you have a fun and safe ride. I'm sure there will be a blog on it when I get back so I look forward to hearing about it. Everyone have a Merry Christmas.
