Bikes make great Birthday gifts...

Check out the big smile on Stacy Jones' face. Her husband, Ron, sent her by the shop to "pick up her forgetful husband's sunglasses" and surprised her with a shiny new road bike.

We think she liked the bow almost as much as she liked the bike.

Paceline and Greensboro Parks celebrate National Trails Day

It was so hot on Trails Day that Scott and Gerry melted right off their bikes.









Oh, wait. There's Gerry now chilling out on a cool refreshing "Lime".

We knew he could ride and fix bikes but who would have thought....

Curtis caught this huge fish in a local pond Saturday night. I guess we know what he's having for dinner tonight...and tomorrow night, too.

Riding On The Sun

That's what our Monday night ride was like. At 6:00 it was still 96 degrees and not getting any cooler. Those of you who braved the heat know first hand. Despite the weather we still had a great ride and no one got dehydrated which is easy to do if you're not careful. You can lose 2 or more liters of fluid per hour on a hot day. Make sure you stay hydrated.

Come out Saturday morning at 8:00 and 8:15 for our weekly ride. It's looking to be a little cooler this weekend. Sunny and nice.

Chris Monteleone in Belgium

Local Cycling phenom Chris Monteleone

(Standing above the 2) grabbed 2nd at the

US Under 23 Nationals and earned a highly

coveted spot on the U23 National team. This

team is the breeding ground for future Tour

De France Racers. Chris is spending the next

3 months racing in Belgium with the team.

He sent me this update a few days ago. All

the best Chris!!!

Hey everybody,Just a quick update..

Finally getting settled in here at the U-23 house.

It's a pretty simple set-up - Six bedrooms I think,

four guys to a room, huge kitchen, equally

large dining room. Noel's wife Els, has dinner

ready for us every night at 6. There are two

full time mechanics, and masseur's.... but with

24 guys here, it gets pretty hectic at times...Riding

here is really different, as none of the roads go

in one constant direction. None of the country

roads are visibly marked, so it's super easy to

get lost. It's nothing like America where the

roads are more or less in grids...I race in

GP Des Hauts, Saturday in France.

It's 160km, so that should be fun.

I'm starting to feel better every day..

the first few days were rough.

So, I think thats all for now...
