This Saturday, 2/2

This Saturday is of course the 2nd installment of the Snake Creek Gap MTB time trial. To all the racers going, I am sure you will make Team BC proud. Push through it guys!

I will not be able to do a road ride this Saturday from the shop since I am getting over some bronchitis. Hope the weather is not too bad for you all.

Hey Guys and Gals,

This Saturday 1/26

It's looking pretty cold for this Saturday with a high of 40, but dry. So hopefully we can still get in a ride.

What I would like to do is lead a "B" pace road ride, but possibly start at 1pm. The "A" pace guys can decide when they will ride or they can join us.
We can try David's 54 mile route. It has all the local climbs on it so we should keep warm.

Be ready to ride at 1:00 PM from the H'ville shop for a "B" pace ride (16 to 17mpg avg). We will be doing many of the local climbs and stopping at the top to regroup. See you then.

Saturday Rides - 1/19/2013

The weather looks good for this weekend so far, so I would think that everyone would be ready to ride this Saturday.

So, what is the consensus? H'ville shop ? MJ Shop? MTB trail? All three?

I will be attempting to ride Saturday, but I may have do a short route.

I suppose we can try the same routes that I had planned for last Sat.

55 mile route http://ridewithgps.com/routes/2054989

33 mile route http://ridewithgps.com/routes/2054994

I think that David prefers we start at 8am so the "dudes" can get back to work.

**Matt confirmed - 8am start at H'ville shop. One group will be going 4 hrs, but there will probably be a group going shorter as well**

Remember, that you can reply to this blog post in a comment that will not be emailed out to the google groups list.

Hope to see you this weekend.

Blog use

Just some housekeeping stuff.. Post anything you like as long as it is cycling related. Selling bikes or bike gear is fine, just don't make it your own personal ebay! Keep it clean please! When you get the invitation, you will have access to make new posts. For each post anyone can make comments to the post. So you don't have to make a new post every time if it is the same subject. There are lots of links to on the right side that you can check out. Ride routes, websites, photos, etc. Also you will see that there are other "pages". Right now there is a "Team Roster" and "Videos" page. Make sure to make a post with your racing bio and a photo so I can update this team roster list. Thanks.

Biker's Choice Team Roster,

Post your resume as a comment.

David Hardin, Team Director since 1989.  Started taking Team BC to nationals in 1989 in BMX. Moved the team into mountain bike racing in 1992. Former A-Pro BMX racer, Cat 1 Mtn Bike Racer, and Cat 4 Racer.  Hosts 3-6 USA cycling events a year since 1995.  Owner of Bikers Choice Bicycle shops in Hendersonville and Mt. Juliet.  www.thebikerschoice.com

Kyle Taylor, Licensed Professional Mtn bike racer, Cat 3 Road Racer, and a pretty solid Park/Street Rider on his 20".  Kyle was born and raised in Mobile Alabama.  He has been in the bike shop business since he was 16, currently he is 26 yrs old.  Started racing Mtn bikes in 2010, and by 2011 he had blown through the ranks of Mtn biking and Became Mississippi's Overall Number 1 Top Ranked Pro/Open class racer.  In 2012, he moved to Nashville, to Race for Team BC and work at Bikers Choice.  In his first year, he won the TBRA State Championship title in the Pro division.  His kindness expertise and  experience has earned him top spot in the store.  And for 2013 he will be challenging the top pros in the country as he races across the country in the USA PRO MTB Series, and the SERC Series.    

Matt Schupp.  Cat 1 mountain biker, Cat 3 road racer, Cat 2 cx racer.  Born and raised in the "high five" state.  Matt got into the sport to get off the couch and back into shape after a couple of knee surgeries back in 2007.  He frequents the SERC series as a main focus, but you will find him racing the Nashville Crit series and a random cx race here and there.  Schupp has also been known to jump in a couple Pro Open races on the circut as well, just so he can get his ass handed to him by some of the Southeast's best.  He likes to stay out late, have some beverages and wake up early to ride.  Mainly in the sport just to have a good time, but his seriousness can be seen and made fun of through facial expressions during tense races.  Hands down the dude likes to compete.

2012 notable results:

1st:  Snake 30-39 @ 3:04
11th:  Tsali SERC Pro Open
1st:  Nashville crit 123 race
10th:  Fontana Pro Open Short Track

Great Kids race this year, at the Lock 4 Challenge.  Almost triple in participation over last year.   This winter,  Charlie Capps is doing an eagle scout project which will identify the kids course for 2013.   And Hopefully, our Kids race will be even larger for 2013.  Thanks Charlie!!

Hey Guys,

Not sure if this would be the best option. But it may be an alternative to always using email or the Google groups mail list.
