If you can believe it, cross season is looming around the corner.

The Alan factory cyclocross team is growing and I want to extend our offer
to New England cross racers, which can be passed onto friends (men, women,
juniors or masters of all abilities) if we offer a good match.

Curious about a deal on a handmade Italian cross frameset?
...with a fork, clothing and a team helmet thrown in?

You saw us in the NE cross scene last fall, doing A, B, Junior and Masters
races. We are a good program, support each other at races, have fun and
offer generous options to fit all budgets. Joining involves purchasing one
of the Alan packages and competing in at least 5 races. You also have
access to prodeals throughout the season from companies like Mavic, Zipp,
Crank Bros, Shimano, Thomson, Schwalbe tires and Tifosi eyewear to name a
few. My regional team also will make getting feeds and support at cross
races more likely, give you a team to hang with and the option of informal
cross coaching from me. Don't be afraid to change your road club colors for
an exciting fall experience, its not being disloyal, cross is a different
sport!

If you have interest, please drop me an email or call me (phone # will be
working after Friday afternoon).
