Teammates,

Just wanted to remind Y'all that we'll be meeting tonight, at 7:30, on the third
floor of the JCSU. This is a rather important meeting, as we will be selecting
our new officers.

So please, come on down!

I don't understand what all the secret identity crap is all about on who is
posting this thing. My guess it is Chris Payne who used to race for UNR and
the Wheelmen. It would be nice to feel secure on who you are giving your
e-mail address too? Nice concept though.

Hello Reno athletes:

Short Version:
Check out www.RenoRidez.com, a cool new resource for Reno area athletes.

Long version:
This e-mail is being sent to inform you about www.RenoRidez.com.  RenoRidez is a
calendar where rides, runs, tri training, etc. can be posted.  Anyone can post a
ride, and once a ride is posted others can sign up for the ride.  Comments and
photos of the event can also be posted to the calendar.
The main goal of setting this calendar up is to bring people together to train. 
A wise old cyclist told me early on "You only get stronger training with
stronger cyclist!"  This is true for any sport, and training with a group is
much more enjoyable than training alone.  I used a similar calendar when I moved
to Vegas, and was able to meet up with a ton of nice like minded people.  I hope
the same will happen here in Reno.
So give it a try, IT'S FREE!!!!  There is no cost to join, and no advertising,
thanks to tech savvy friends.  Not a lot of routes are listed as of yet, but you
can help with this by downloading routes to Garmin.com using their Dashboard
feature, and then just send them to us admin@....

Keep the rubber side down,

Yo,

So if you are one of the select few who has chosen to rep hard at conference
champs this weekend, You need to go ahead and leave your bikes at my house so we
can load them into the trucks heading down there.

I live at:

298 Talus Way
Reno NV
89503

I'll be home today at about 5:30, but if you cant meet me for whatever reason,
give me a call and i'll tell you where i've hidden the key...
(415-531-3026 is my numba...)

so, to clarify what feels like a mixed up message:

If you are racing this weekend, get your bicycle to my house so we can load them
into one of the two pick-ups going down there. if you have issue call me.

Words,

EMCD

I need help deciding between a Cannondale CAAD 9 frame, or a Nashbar frame
(http://www.nashbar.com/bikes/Product_10053_10052_172821_-1_201511_10000_201512)\
.

I welcome any comments.

Dr. Wang sent this to me today. We should have pricing this week. I'll keep you
all posted.

To All USCF Club Presidents:

In anticipation of a great 2010 racing season, Edge Composites is offering a
killer deal to all USCF members to outfit their race bikes.

The promotion covers the complete line of Edge products - wheelsets, handlebars,
stems, seatposts and forks - all of which can be checked out at
www.edgecomposites.com .

You will be receiving a postcard next week introducing the program, so all you
need to do is take this to your local bike shop and have them contact us for
special 'pro deal' pricing for the promotion. It's a great opportunity to get
your team members into some serious race equipment, while supporting the shop
that supports you. Couldn't be simpler.

wheelsets purchased through the club promotion prior to December 1st, 2009 will

Cycling Constitution, for next weeks election (current officers next to title):

President (Eddie)

Sponsorship Coordinator (?)

In the Past, we have appointed people to other positions, such as:

Travel Coordinator (Cody Smith and Chris)

Recruitment Officer (?)

Ritchey Liason (Jenny)

Buckbean Liason (Cody Smith har har!)

If any of these positions tickle your fancy, feel free to run! if you'd like to
help the team out in a way that one of these positions does not satisfy, we'll
make a postion for you!

So, put your thinking caps on, we will meet at 7:30 NEXT Wednesday, 11/18, for
all of the elections, as well as planning our year end party.

Hey guys,

Hanns has asked all of the teams to compile their thoughts on the new "no aero
equipment" rules to take effet his year. If you haven't heard, there will be no
aero equip allowed for time trials and Team time trials. That's right- no aero
bars, helmets, disc wheels and tri spokes. I wil compile a message to him, so
send your thoughts out to the listserve by friday pm. So far, here is what i
think:

In general, these rules level the playing field as far as equipment investment.
Our team would benefit from this rule change since we have very little time
trial equipment overall. Some teams that are well funded are able to acquire
equipment that gives them an advantage over other teams. While it is true that
you can gain a lot of aerodynamics with a cheap pair of clip on bars and a 60$
TT helmet, at the level of competition where the competing riders are within a
few seconds of eachother, any more investment into equipment does give a
significant advantage. Also, TT bikes with aero design and a sleek front end are
absolutely necessary to win a national level TT. As far as a TTT, to compete at
nationals is a very significant investment since at least 3 riders of the group
need to have similarly purchased TT gear. I did not know that these rules were
being discussed at USA cycling, I do support the outcome.

As far as the arguement that the rule will put our collegiate riders at a
disadvantage against USCF and UCI competitors, I agree with Matt Mansur that
having TT equipment does little if anything for rider development.

Anyways, let me know of you agree or disagree and I will send hanzzy a message.

Scot

Ladies and Gentlemen,

So, UCSB is officially, again, the last race of the MTN season. I feel it would
beneficial to us to have an EXTREMELY strong showing there, as we are currently
sitting in second, not to far behind CPSLO. PLEASE COME! This is a venue similar
to Parkfield in the way that all the teams camp together, making post race
activities rather entertaining.

We are going to have a meeting about travel coordination next Monday, at 8:00 on
the third floor of the JCSU. If you cannot make the meeting, but want to come to
the race, Email me or hit me up via text or talk on my mo-bile phone.
(415-531-3026)

Also, we have been lagging on this with our hosting of national champs, but it
is time to pick new officers for the team. I was thinking of having a meeting
AFTER UCSB to do this, so we could focus on it entirely. Any objection to that?

I will send out a list of all the available positions, which is all of them.
Nothing wrong with an actual election! If you want to run, start thinking now!

Thats about all I've got for now,

Eddie

I cracked the frame on my road bike, there's only about an inch and a half of
metal still attached along the down tube just behind the head tube.  I'm going
to a couple of shops to see if I can do a warranty exchange on it, but I did buy
it used.  I don't have any money to buy a new frame.  I need a 60-61cm frame, I
know it's asking a lot, but anything would help.
If anybody has some advice, my ears are open.

Alex

After Track and MTB season, we are currently ranked 9th in the nation, and
second in the WCCC. Great Job Guys! Check out:

https://www.usacycling.org/forms/D1%20Team%20Rankings.pdf

If you want to race cross at nationals, start thinking about it. The races will
be held december 10-13. The team wants to send you!

The skinny is that no aero equipment will be allowed for TTT or ITT. All bikes
and equipment including helmets must be UCI mass start legal.

https://www.usacycling.org/news/user/story.php?id=4527

There is some debate going on with the WCCC listserve, but it will be too late
to change the rule back for this year, until road nats in the spring. So 1 bike
should be enough.....

Scot Ferguson

The ride today will be leaving the student union on campus at noon. I
was thinking about going through Rancho, around McCarran, to Verdi,
back up through caughlin ranch, and then back to campus. This is going
to be a nice mellow ride with some climbs sprinkled in here and there.
If you are new to the team come out and meet everyone.
Scott

Yo,

So, everyone's favorite national champ, Jon Wilson, was kind enough to plug the
recent Nationals with our school newspaper, aka the Sagebrush. The article
should be published tomorrow, 10/27! Hopefully some rad shots get used, as i
sent the author about 50 different pics to choose from. muhaha.

Also, my parentals took quite a few pics from the nationals weekend, as well as
some video. my mother published it on http://nevadacycling.shutterfly.com/
Sadly, they are pretty "eddie heavy" but hey, they were my parents, and i am the
best looking on the team, so i guess y'all should be honored. zow!

that is all for now, until next time, stay frosty.

Eddie
