July 30th. Just finishing up the website update and registration details. Shoot me an e-mail if you'd like and I'll get you on the mailing list. teamexcelerator@gmail.com

For those wanting more than a century, stay tuned for more info on our Park City Gran Fondo event in Utah. 170 miles climbing to 10,000 feet. We're really going to put the "gran" in gran fondo! 50 and 100 miles options too. http://www.teamexcelerator.com.

Yeah, sucks for Lance to get dropped. Tough to see a champ go down so hard. Lets not forget though that Indurain, Lemond and Hinault all ended their TdF careers with losses. BUT, I'm surprised that there's not one story about Levi! He's only 2 minutes behind 'Bert and arguably a better TT'r...

I'm definitely no expert, but I couldn't help but notice Tyler Farrar's last few hundred meters. He looks to be second wheel coming into the sprint, right behind his lead out guy. To my eye, he looks to his right, directly at Cav who promplty steps on the gas and wins. Seems to me you'll...

Way to go Horner! Finally one of the good guys win! All you haters are morons! Horner has worked his a$$ for years, always in someone else's shadow. Now with his team sick and years of motivation, he did it! Good job Horner, USA and The Shack!

No Bahati? That's a shame. One the most exciting teams in a long time, plus former winner and Cali boy, Landis not being there. Too bad.

So lame! They should have taken the race behind the sierra, Mojave to Whitney Portal? Bishop to Mammoth Mountain? So many better options. Looks like the big cities took precedence over good racing. Maybe finsih at Snow Valley Ski Area 15 miles earlier but still on the grade?

Just fyi, we have been operating since 2007. Our website is http://www.teamexcelerator.com. I built it using a free html editor. For 2010 we actually have a real website guy running our site for us so it won't be so basic.:o Thanks for all the great input. I'm going to chew on this...

I don't wear pro kit because 1) its expensive and 2) I'd rather promote my club's sponsors and our local shop than a Kasakh airline. Now, if you're going to don a Festina or Saunier Duval jersey? That's just funny.

I'm liking the ebay idea. I think I'll give that a try. What else has worked for folks out there?

We're 25 riders. 10 on the competitive "team" the other 15 on the "club". The bulk of the budget would be used for team kit and race entries for mostly cat 4 riders. Total budget for 2010 needs to be $6700. Proceeds from the race we host and dues cover part but we're looking for a $4000...

Just looking for some input from the masses. I run a small local team but have had trouble getting the kinds of sponsorship dollars we really need to go out and recruit "better" riders and really grow. At the local level its hard to prove ROI. Is there a better way to pitch it? Or is it...
