Alex's Team National Champs

Fort Lewis & App. State take home American collegiate titles

Congratulation Alex! Alex is one of the solid performers for ASU.(and one of Paceline's own!)
Fort Lewis College narrowly surpassed host Lees-McRae College to win the Division I team omnium competition at the USA Cycling Collegiate Mountain Bike National Championships last weekend. Even fewer points separated Division II champions Appalachian State University and second-place Colorado School of Mines. The top individual scorers in both endurance and gravity events
were also awarded individual omnium crowns following a weekend of competition hosted by Lees-McRae College in North Carolina.


The Division II team race was even closer with nearby Appalachian State University edging last year's champion, the Colorado School of Mines, 585- 575. Evenly dispersed talent was on display with the top five schools finishing within 100 points.

Enduro Action

Our buddy, Mark Scalise, has a fascinating race history. Someone found this pic! 1979 Tellico Plains, Tennessee. National Enduro Motorcycle Race in the Cherokee National Forest. Mark placed third. He raced from 73 to 81. Won a few, the last year he raced he finished 7th place or better in every race: Mark was a top 10 rider. Enduro's are basically long cross country races, kind of like a cyclecross event. Short races were 80 miles and the longer ones were 125 miles. We're glad Mark is back!

Donna & Hugh Wallace's Great Adventure

California wine country with Chris Carmicael and Bob Roll.

Hugh led the way on the steeper climbs, but always waited.

Hugh and Donna enjoyed drafting behind Bob Roll.

Not so critical mass

This is a small portion of the 800 Trek Lime bicycles that took part in a 3 mile ride from Monona Terrace to the University of Madison campus in Madison Wisconsin.

Madison is one of the most bicycle friendly places around and this particular downtown street is actually always closed to cars. It is lined with great shops and restaurants. The folks dining on the sidewalks were amazed at the long line of cyclists coming down the road.

We'll miss you, Landen

We took this photo at Landen's going away party. It is the only known photographic proof that Brent, Landen, and Tommy really are 3 different people.

Landen has moved to Boston to head up the corporate fitness program for Ocean Spray. We wish him the best of luck.

Major Rimron in Iraq

Paceline's old friend and customer has been away for months. Imagine wearing this gear in 100 degree weather! We are looking forward to his return(and the new puns).
