2008 Training Series Report #1



Team CCR brought a showing to the first race of the 2008 Training Series in Gallant, AL. There were three classes: A, B and C, fastest to slowest. Class C was the race of choice for us today, really just wanting to see where our fitness stood as a team as well as individuals.



The initial pace was pretty strong and all the teams were getting organized for the second and final lap of the 20 mile race. Larry and Brad stayed strong up front with the pack but didn't have the team support that the larger teams had. Larry finished somewhere in the 20's and Brad hung back after working hard to the sprint. The Quik Chix (Stacey, Allison and Tressie) remained toward the back winking, trying to destract the guys on the back. It almost worked, good job ladies. It was a good day for the team and we are looking forward to next weekends race. Photos

2 Legit 2 Quit

That's right, it's official, we are officially registered as Team CCR with USA Cycling. For those that are just joining us, this is the first year of competition for the "team", although some of us are veterans to the race scene.

We are excited to announce that Beljum Budder will be our headlined sponsor for the 2008 season. Beljum Budder is the natural choice for chafing protection. That said, we won't have chafing problems. WooHoo!

Five riders from Team CCR will hammer this weekend at the 2008 Winter Training Series at Camp Sumatanga in Gallant, AL. This will be the first of three training races to show off early season fitness in the state of Alabama for all the local road cycling teams. Race distances will vary from 20-40 miles based on race class. If you need more info about the race please contact Bill Seitz- weseitz@hotmail.com.

That's all the news for now. Please be patient with the post. We promise they will eventually be more interesting than announcing sponsorships. We will try to post pics from the Winter Training Series as soon as possible.
