Family Tree

Here’s a question for everyone. Is there an international bicycle racing hall-of-fame? Or, does anyone know how to trace the lineage of the current teams back through their list of title sponsors? For example: team Disco was USPS, and something before that. It would be neat to see some kinda family tree of cycling teams. Thanks!

What do Mapei and Bobby Gordon have in common?

NASCAR

Yup, it's true. There was some bantering going on the mfc forum, I think, about car racing and which was the best Indy, F1, Rally, Nascar etc. Well, the #7 car of Bobby Gordon will be flying the Mapei brand name across the hood (bonnet) at Lowes Speedway this weekend.

I found this humorous do to the fact that most cyclist, I believe we're talkin road cyclists, thought that NASCAR was too much of a redneck sport.

My neck must be a little red then.

Here's another little fun fact. The group that managed the Posties US Postal Service Cycling Team also managed the Nestle car.

Who's the redneck now?

Cat 3!

Yup, I'm a cat 3 now. Hard to believe that I'm a 3 so quickly after becoming a cat 4.

Just wish I could say that I was a cat 3 on the road. Looks like I can choose between A2's or B1's when ever I get around to racing cross this season.

Cross training?

Yeah it's cross season again.

I'll be lucky if I hit a race this year. Which is fine cause I got a good reason. By the time I feel like really training again the cross season will have come and gone.

So here's my question for an audience of 5.

What are some good ideas for cross training in the off season?...
