Kathleen Krosses it up

Kathleen Gleason has represented Paceline at so many races that when you google us she keeps coming up. Once Fall comes the race season doesn't end either...it's cyclocross time. Thanks to Kathleen and everyone who shows off our team colors at races and events throughout the year. And if you think racing doesn't sound like a good time try racing in deep sand on skinny tires...

GIANT'S ELECTRIC BICYCLE VISITS PACELINE

We called in some of our top test riders to experience the new electric bicycle. Cliff pushed it to speeds never before seen.Mark was his usual carefree self driving between moving cars at speed.And Hugh was cautious and said Donna didn't want one. Everyone was impressed. We're taking orders! Save gas now!

Greensboro Epic Trail Ride

Using Greensboro's phenomenal trail system, Brent and Tommy led a group of cyclists on a 50+ mile mountain bike ride. Although a few of the miles were on road most of the ride was actually on the dirt.




Look at the tired but happy cyclists. Several members of the group stopped to save a group of orphans from a burning bus (that's what they told us) and are not pictured here.




Ooh...a rare find. A gaggle of dirt riders flushed from the woods and traversing the pavement. They look strange out of their natural element don't they?

Size Does Matter

These are not 650c wheels...this is just a big bike. Tony Flores' custom Seven even has custom 200mm crank arms. This bike was built for stiffness but still weighs in at a meager 17.5 lbs. (Think 65cm-ish full titanium frame.)

At 6'5 there are not a lot of off the shelf bike options available and Tony was nervous about buying a bike that he couldn't see and ride before he committed. However, a few parking lot sprints later Tony is a custom bike believer.

Pilot Mountain Ride

This past saturday marked the 14th and a 1/2 annual Pilot Mountain ride. This epic ride was well attended by 30 brave cyclists. The weather was outstanding and everyone made it up the Mountain with minimal pain and suffering. Cameron, our fearless ride leader, did have a bit of trouble as he is really out of shape but everyone else did awesome.


After the ride we had an amazing pizza party with pizza from 4 Sisters Restaurant. All in all it was a great day and we would like to thank everyone for making it out.
