01/10/04 - Of Interest
If you are anything like me, you like to keep up with all the latest cycling news. While most of it is fluffy reading that kills the time, every now and then an article of substance is posted. When you have a moment, be sure to check out this bike.com article concerning inconsistencies in the appliclation of doping penalties

Also of interest is this tidbit concerning Alison Dunlap's Olympic troubles.

01/07/04 - I Need a Moment
I could not have suvived Cyclocross Season without the invaluable and
unselfish help of Amy Hall, who not only gave up her Sundays, but also chipped in some great prizes from Il Forniao. Thank you, Amy. It's people like you that making running this team the joy that it is.

Okay, enough of that. Moment's over. Run along now.

01/05/04 - Fat Cross Lady Sings
Cross season is officially over in NorCal. Although judging by attendance at the last couple of races, it was sort of "over" right after Nationals. Still, a hearty few attended the final race, and they were amply rewarded with fabulous series prizes.

Of course, the most fabulous of the prizes were the Velo Bella prizes we donated to all B women.

  • Look close at how fabulous they are!
  • Look at the fabulous winners, whom we made smile!

Check out the sweet thank you we received from Sarah Bamberger, Sycip, overall Women's B winner:

"I just wanted to say thanks for being so cool and crafty and fun with the prizes that Velobella gave for the Pilarcitos series. I love the idea of getting non-cycling related stuff and reminding everyone how it's okay to reclaim your girliness (especially since every chica kicks butt on a bike).

Glitter and sparkles on you,
Sarah"

Glitter and sparkles to you, too, Sarah. Whatever that means.

::CONGRATS to our bellas who finished as follows in the overall standings::

Karen Kaevaufer, 3rd Place, B Women
Valerie Mangin, 4th Place, C Women
Andi Mackie, 1st Place, Women 35
Marguerite Meyer, 2nd Place, Women 35
