Whether it's a completely new outfit, or you're just selling your soul to a previous rival (my case).
Let's hear:
1) Team name TEAM ARMY
2) State/Region Virginia, for now
3) Big races your team plans to do. Which ever one I deside to enter,first one on the schedule is the JRVS/William and Mary Road Race 24/25 Feb
4) Your goals as part of your new team this year. Get better in the pack... not crash :-0
Happy Holidays!

I guess I didn't update in this thread.
I will be riding with Austin Bikes in 08. It sounds about perfect for me, with a group of guys looking to race M35+. It's not an overly structured team, everyone races really well together, and there's not much of a time commitment outside of racing. Should be a lot of fun. Also, they have a good turnout for the Tuesday Nighter and the Driveway crits, so that will make things really fun
I've been riding with a lot of these guys anyway, so I'm looking forward to working together formally.

sure, they look great when you've got a tan, they're brand new, and there's no rain in sight.
at least you can be rest assured that nobody will want to sit on your wheel if your racing in the rain.

1. Roaring Mouse Cycles
2. San Francisco Bay Area
3. Not sure if they are "big", but in the beginning we're specifically at: Snelling, Merco crit/RR, Merced - In general: Everything else
4. First full season on this (or any team), upgrading to 4 after the Early Birds and surviving from there on out. Be in good enough form by mid summer to do well at the Albany crit and not be burnt out by Benicia. Otherwise do as many races as I can and find out which ones I like the best. Learn as much as possible.

1. Triangle Velo
2. The Triangle area of NC (Raleigh/Durham/Chapel Hill)
3. Don't know yet. Probably hit a stage race or two this year.
4. Survive and pay my dues as a 2. Anything beyond that will be gravy.

I'm still on C4, although with moving up to Chapel Hill in the fall, I'll be looking for a new team at some point.

Snuff-
Yeah, I had to keep it under wraps until just before the holidays. It is indeed new. It's a small (6-7 riders) team, all cat 2s. If we get some good results, maybe some of the guys will be able to move up- we'll see.
If you're a 3 when you move up to CH, FSC would no doubt love to have you- I had figured we'd try to get you onto FSC then.

I was worried for a second there that FSC was going the way of the dodo or something With the looming knee stuff I'm looking at, I'll be lucky to be on form as a 3 in late July. 2009 on the other hand, I have big hopes for.

Good stuff. You should for sure be able to make some things happen in the 2s.

I'm particularly looking forward to (or alternatively I'm afraid of) doing group rides where I'm not the fastest guy. Solo intervals are good, until the iPod battery dies, and I start talking to the wildlife...

1. Darkhorse (used to race collegiately for Duke)
2. Cincinnati area
3. What used to be called the OVR Spring Series. Summer Solstice later on.
4. Learn teamwork (been racing mostly solo for a while). I won a couple last year, and I'd like to help my teammates do the same. Get to know them. Try to help racing grow in the area.
truckin and Snuffy -- I miss the P ride. Wish there was something in this area like that.

All being well I'll be moving somewhere before the end of the coming season... Just don't really know where.
DC is most likely, but London, Edinburgh, Brussels, and Zurich are all real possibilities... Madison, WI or Charlottesville, VA if it all goes to hell but my fiancé takes me back on the condition that I follow her to the ends of the earth. Shetland is on long odds (actually not a bad cycle scene there - just a very short season and lots of salt spray).
Any recommendations on teams / clubs in those spots?

Treefox- great riding out of C'ville as you no doubt know. I don't know of clubs/teams there other than UVA's, though. DC you'd have your choice of about 90,000 teams. Several of my friends have ridden for NCVC and have enjoyed their time with that group. Can't help you with the other places you mention

It's occurred to me that the Universities of Wisconsin, Virginia, Maryland, and Georgetown might have some sort of associate something or other status that could let me use some of their stuff as a husband of a student - Oxford, where I currently am, does do that. So might be able to ride with university teams, though I doubt I could race.
