Cycling update

It is time for another cycling up. It has been a while so here it goes. It has just been announced on Velo News that Tyler Hamilton has been signed by Rock Racing. He will be riding With fast Freddy and Santiago Botero. Rock will concentrate on the Domestic seen and have the potential to dominate. While Tyler is getting up there, he did finish 6th at the US time trial championsips, some 45 seconds down on Zabriskie. That's pretty good for a guy that hadn't rode most of the year. Let's hope Tyler can keep his nose out of things for a while and just ride his freakin' bike. I am sick of hearing about him in the news with more doping allegations.

The Astana Team got under way with it's first training camp in Spain this week. The former Disco riders are riding in their Disco kits until the beginning of '08. They are riding stock non team issue Madones until Trek can get up to speed on the new color schemes. They are really getting into the swing of things late in the game. If any bike company has the resources to pull this off it would be those cheeseheads over at Trek. Stay tuned, I will post pics of the new ASTANA kit when they become available.

On the local Scene, The Trailhead Velo Club is taking shape. The Kit design has mostly been finalized with a goal for making that available by the Ironman bike ride. Neil, if you read this, can you email me the graphics and I will post for all to see? The Christmas party at John's had a good turnout. I was only able to stay for the first hour but it sounds like a good time was had by all! Thanks John!

That is all I Have for Now. Erikspeaks wishes all of you out there in cyberworld Happy Holidays and success in the new year!
