Hello!

This week you can try any spin class at the SRSC for free! Here is the schedule: http://www.iurecsports.org/fall_cyclefit. (I know the link says fall, but that is currently the link to the spring schedule.) Come try it out, and if you like it, you can sign up for an eight-week series of 60-minute Little 500 Power Training sessions or a seven-week series of 45-minute CycleFit sessions. (Registered sessions start next week.)

 Check it out!

Might have posted this before but it's a good repeat to set the mood for the important days ahead for those that aspire to L5 glory!

Take an hour and watch Wiggo win...

 

Planning for the Hilly...

Thanks to Carl Field for this one.

I'm sure something will happen in Bloomington of note soon! When does the track open?

As cyclocross builds up to Louisville 2013, a reminder as to why those of us at the bottom end do it: not only for the chicks but also for the laughs! Consider our 'all category' races in the UK where 150 riders rock up at the beginning...total carnage!

Thanks to jason for the heads-up.

Team Panther/ SIB

Scholars Inn Bakehouse in Agreement with Panther Expedited for Elite Cycling Program

A formal collaboration between the Scholars Inn Bakehouse cycling team and Team Panther presented by Competitive Cyclist is in process. The exact nature of the program, the details, kits and naming is still in discussion but the leadership has agreed in principle regarding the value of the merger and the benefits to each team and the cycling community.

Joining forces with the successful Panther program, in its 5th year allows the current Scholars Inn Bakehouse program to be a true feeder team for this elite squad. Currently, the Scholars Inn Bakehouse program will remain relatively unchanged. The program will continue to be one of the Midwest’s premier cycling programs for USA Cycling Categories 2 through 5 as well as the development team for the Elite program. Riders in the beginning categories will be part of one of the region’s top programs and upper category racers will have the opportunity to be called up and compete with the elite riders at specified events. Overall, this creates a complete competitive cycling platform for the new Scholars Inn program. Scholars Inn Cycling will continue to welcome all local racers who want to be part of the program.

 Pre-season Elite team roster for 2013:
  Kirk Albers, 43 Columbus, OH
 Jonathan Atwell, 31 Bloomington, IN
 Andrew Clarke, 42 Medina, OH
 Johnathan Freter, 20 Columbus, OH
 Ryan Knapp, 28 Bloomington, IN
 Paul Martin, 40 North Royalton, OH
 Jeff Pendlebury, 25 Fredericksburg, OH
 Andrew Seitz, 26 Pittsburgh, PA
 Rob Thompson, 30 Lakewood, OH
 Martin Vecchio, 27 Detroit, MI

 Others may be added to this or ‘called up’ to compete with the Elite squad at key events.
 Kirk Albers, Andy Clarke, Ryan Knapp, Andy Seitz and Paul Martin are returning from the 2012 Panther team. The elite program is very pleased to add Jonathan Atwell from the United Healthcare of GA/706 Project Team and the Scholars Inn Bakehouse team, Johnathan Freter and Jeff Pendlebury from the Cleveland Clinic/RGF Team, Rob Thompson from Team Spin and Martin Vecchio from Lathrup Industries/Giant.

From @jason_fowler and legit:

 '‎4hrs with the Cutters today. 40 degrees, thunderstorms, sleet, pouring rain. Brutal conditions. Didn't see anyone else out on the road'

On that evidence, looks like it's DTD, Sigma Phi and Beta in contention for the win. Also great to see a lady from Rainbow Cycling get on the podium! I notice Kris Zee down in 12th place, I remember that name from a few years ago when he was the coming man, is he going to fulfil  his potential?
