[BHV] Race Team

[Bobby Nunnink]

*Any interest in forming a race team?*

I know that many of you raced in the local races this past year. I 
absolutely enjoyed the three races I did  and would like to do more next 
year.

Some people train so they can race; I raced so I could train, so the 
all-important workout didn't get shoved to the back burner so easily.  
Nothing inspires like knowing you're going to get your butt kicked in 
the next race if you don't train. The fact that I get my butt kicked 
anyway is completely beside the point. I wanted to float the idea of 
forming a race team so that we can all do better.

Bicycle racing is definetly a team sport where team tactics and 
cooperation are often deciding factors in the outcome of a race.  As a 
team we can work to set up a teammate for a break away or a strong 
sprint finish, or even block or disrupt the efforts of a rival team.  A 
team will also help us by organizing group training rides, refining 
skills, learning strategy and tactics, and aid in the logistics and cost 
of getting to races.

I have worked on making a race schedule of local races for next year and 
I'll send it to anyone who is interested. I even talked to a potential 
sponsor who may have some interest in seeing us clothed in some classic 
retro Jerseys. The Union Jack is back!  Our mountan bike chairmen Steve 
says he'll  help organize the mtb part of the race team.



Next year begins now
