The Road squad from Cycling-Training.com/ARPT is already showing some great early season form! With 4 practice races under our belts and a healthy dose of skills clinics and workouts, we are already seeing the fruits of our labor. Reese “Rotten” Gary scored a 4th place at the Snelling RR on February 23rd! We have also seen some solid results from Doug “Big Mig” Miglaw. Both Doug and Reese are coming off strong Cyclocross seasons. The entire crew has been working hard and we expect to see more evidence of that work in the upcoming races including the Land Park Crit and the Bariani Road Race.

The Cycling-Training.com crew got together this past weekend to celebrate another great year of road and cross fun. Thanks to Paul and Jodie for hosting the party. We ate and drank and told tall tales about the 2007 season. We also gathered around the “Crossmas” tree to snap a few photos. Good times were had by all! A big thanks to all the riders, coaches and supporters that made the 2007 such a great success. More fun is waiting around the corner in the 2008 season!
