A-race recap: With a forecast for spotty weather, turnout for the first Bring it On race of 2010 was less than in previous years, still a field of 26 lined up for the A race.

The race started out with one lone rider mistaking the A race for a "Win and Out", but he was quickly reminded otherwise. Shortly into the race, A break of ~10 including Kent Lofton (Velobrew), Phil Gaimon (Kenda Tires), Phil Bailey (Cycle Logic), Ryan Saylor (Velobrew), Eric Stubbs (352), Jacquie Crowell (Team type 1), and others got established within 5 laps. A few laps later the break exploded when Gaimon attacked, the only two who were able to cover were Eric Stubbs, and Derek Schanze (Cycle Logic). The 3 riders continued on, chased by the remnants of the break. Eventually, the three leaders lapped the field, but pressed on through the field and broke away again. The chase group also lapped the field and re-integrated with two laps to go. On the final lap, Schanze attacked, Gaimon countered, and Stubbs snuck by for the win.

Women's recap: It started raining at the start of the women's race. The cat4 women were given an assist and sent off with a 90 second lead. In the 1/2/3 field were Heather Davis (Team Florida), Amy Horstmeyer (352), Cindy Tompkins (Cycle Logic), plus several others. The 1-2-3 women quickly caught the three lone cat4 women within four laps. With five laps to go, Tompkins demonstrated why she had previously worn the Florida State TT Champion jersey by breaking away solo and holding on for the win.

B's race recap: The rain started coming down in buckets by the start of the B's race, and definitely benefited the strong and fearless. From the gun there were a flurry of attacks, causing the B's race to be strung out in a single file for the first several laps. Eventually a break of ~10 was established, including David Monnismith (352) and Kyle Rohan (Chain Reaction). With about four laps to go, three riders broke away from the lead group, with Kyle Rohan pulling out the win.

Presenting the 2010 kit

For those of you who attended the soggy affair that was the Bring it On race this past Saturday, you got a chance to see the new 2010 Cycle Logic kits live and in action.

For those of you who have been following the teaser images with great anticipation of what the final design looked like in its entirety, I present to you our 2010 kit. Click on the image at the left for a larger view.

This year's design contains a fair amount of subtlety in it's background "texture". Thirty different icons were illustrated and positioned throughout the different pieces of apparel. The icons all pertain to (in varying ways) our team, our sport, our state, our culture and our community. Together they blend to create a subdued background that offers the viewer an atypical interaction with the kit.

Keep an eye out for Cycle Logic throughout the racing season, hopefully we won't be hard to miss.
