mimcycling : Message: FW: 2008 Sponsorship

Happy New Year & Good News! So far we have Terry cycling returning as a sponsor and also William H. Lane (thank you Tami), we are in the process of submitting requests to our other sponsors and will keep you all updated!

All Terry brand items are wholesale less another 10% off! All orders must be placed through Sharon Collins as listed below.

We are beginning to create the race calendar for 2008 as most of the NYS races has committed their dates, there are a couple of major date changes to be made aware of. The ever popular Syracuse race weekend will NOT be on Memorial weekend as historically done so! It will be held May 17-18 instead (let's hope for dry weather!) Fitchburg will be one week later than usual and will start on Thursday, July 3rd.

The Rochester crit has evolved into an Omnium weekend and will be held August 8-10.

We are looking for some women who are interested in joining us for some fun racing this season! We would like to emphasize that there will be absolutely no pressure! We would like to help everyone learn riding skills and have fun while getting some great exercise! Depending on how much sponsorship money we receive, the team will reimburse members for their race entry fees.

Please watch for future updates and start planning your calendar! Empire State Games will be in Binghamton this Summer! This is a great time to start training :)

We will continue using our same uniforms, If you know of any new riders who may need a jersey, please have them contact me as I still have extras :)

Thank you,

Marsha

Hi Sharon,

We have just completed our 2007 season with some stellar performances during the cyclocross season and are shifting our gears back into training mode for the Winter! We are very pleased to report that our youngest team rider, Charlsie Donnely, has recovered completely from her second brain surgery to remove the remainder of her tumor and was able to again compete at Junior Nationals placing top 10 in each event, placing 8th at the Saturn Rochester criterium, and winning the junior event at Chris Thater Memorial Criterium! This amazing young woman, only 17 years of age, recently won Road Bike Magazine's sponsorship for overcoming brain cancer. We are very proud of Charlsie! Keep watching as we are sure she will continue to improve, this is one gal who has the drive and desire to become pro!

Thanks to all of our sponsors & racers, our team has donated over $6500.00 to the mobile mammography unit at Lourdes Hospital our first three years of racing! We continue to bring new riders into the sport and mentor our development riders to help them progress in the sport! We have over 30 women members who compete in mountain, road, cyclocross, triathlon, bmx in addition to casual riding.

Last year, four of us traveled to New Jersey and competed in the Giro Del Cielo (A Woman's stage race) it was the MOST FUN we had all year! A well organized stage race catering completely to women! Shelley Reynolds took top honors in the time trial, 3rd in the crit, and 7th in the circuit race to place 2nd overall in the stage! Shelley also placed an impressive 3rd in the Altoona Points race this year!

We would like to thank the entire team at Terry Precision Cycling for bringing us women's specific cycling and athletic gear and for your sponsorship these past 3 seasons.

For the 2008 season, we will continue to mentor our beginner racers and focus on bringing them out to our races and encourage them to try larger stage races in addition to our New York list of races.

We would be thrilled to continue our relationship with Terry Precision with complimentary saddles for 6 riders, and would also like to help promote Terry products & Women's cycling with some Terry prizes at our club's Spring Race in Binghamton. Any Terry products (socks, water bottles, nalgene bottles or any items you choose) donated for the top 3 women and junior women would include us promoting Terry as a sponsor of the Binghamton Circuit Race on flyers, egroups and on bikereg.com.

We will continue to include the Terry saddles in publicized photos, Terry logo on our jerseys, on our website and Team Banners. Our team is registered as a non-profit 501c organization, therefore all donations are tax-deductible.

Thank you,
