2010 Season is Here!

Hey AC Junior & Master athletes and supporters,

I think it is safe to say the new season is just about here. CX racing is over-- and what an awesome season for AC it was, with intense racing, many personal bests, multiple local series winners and some excellent results at Nats in Bend!

Seems like everyone is deep into their training programs, and the first Junior Points Series race is right around the corner (Cherry Pie Crit on Sunday Feb 7-- register now if you haven't already--and Snelling RR in late Feb).

The NorCal HS MTB League kicks off soon, too. The AC athletes should be great additions to their respective high school teams. The Tam team is looking for sponsors-- $500 gets your company logo on the team jersey!

Speaking of events, Rich & I are going to keep the calendar here (look to the right --> ) updated. This blog and the calendar are the go-to place for team info, planning and race recaps. We're going to keep email broadcast content to a minimum.

Don't forget to renew your USAC licenses now, before your first race. Now is also a good time to submit upgrade petitions. Let me know if you need any help with that.

It is also time to think about and communicate goals for 2010. JPS, NorCal MTB, SeaOtter and Road and Mountain Nats are on a lot of athletes' radar; we need to discuss and plan how to support achieving those goals as a Team.

--> AC team ride on Saturday: 4hr+ road ride to Nicasio, Olema, Pt Reyes Station. ~50 miles, mostly rollers, maybe throw in the Limantour climb. Depart Peets MV at 8:30 sharp. Light rain ok, heavy rain cancels. Check this blog at 7:30am Sat for Go/No-Go message if the weather is iffy.

--> Tam High MTB team ride on Sunday: meet 10am at Tam High. Going to be a TT up the RxR Grade. AC guys ought to be able to manage that!

Stay tuned and good riding,
Blair
