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.
