Dear Riders,

Good luck to our riders who are competing in the USA National Cycling

Blue Competition Cycles Participation Program.  The July 5th results  
is being edited as a rider was identified to the wrong team.

Please read along as this week we have lots of announcements.

CASH..CASH..CASH

Attention women riders please stump out the "nay sayers" by lapping  
the field in an event.  The first woman who laps the field is being  
offered over $100.00 with an additional bonus provided by an angel

MESSAGE FROM CHRIS VOGEL

Just wanted to let you and everyone else know that I am ok.  Most  
damage was done to my head or else I may have gotten hurt.  Six  
stitches behind the left ear, no breaks, plenty of road rash and a  
really sore neck.  I want to thank everyone for their help and/or  
prayers and in particular Dave Foukes and the two unidentified ladies  
that helped prep me for the paramedics who said I received terrific  
care while in their hands.  Billy Dywer, Mike Ferren and Jeff and Jill  
Whiteman for coming to the hospital after and Jeff and Jill for  
driving me home from the hospital.

I have seen how the cycling community takes care of its own before and  
I am glad you all were there for me yesterday.  Have a great weekend  
and see you at the velodrome soon.
