HI, Mike. I would love the chance to take a few moments to help. Also, let me know if you need help with the website, as I have a friend here in PA that does an awesome job. He can also custom build a server and specify a website to your needs.
In addition, I am right at your back door (Philly area). Have a marketing and advertising background and some certs already. Would like to help in anyway possible (i.e. bike shops, industry contacts/leads, etc). We should also ride sometime too!
Best,
Rosanna

Hey everyone,
I know it's been a while and while I've tried to keep in touch with the group, it's been tough so I thought I'd send out an update. I logged into the yahoo site a while back and it's good to see that it's still very active with many familiar names. I separated from the AF in May 2006 to pursue a career in NYC as a management consultant. It's tough finding time to train with my crazy schedule but I found I was actually able to put in some decent performances last year.
As I'm realizing that staying in shape with this career is definitely a challenge, I'm looking into transitioning into the fitness industry to be more involved with what I love. I'm working on some coaching certifications, building an initial network in the city, and I'm also looking into launching a website that caters to the nutrition needs of athletes (cyclists and triathletes initially). Right now we're just a simple content site while we conduct our market research, so it would help if you could take 30 seconds to answer the survey at the bottom of the page. I promise it's quick and I'll find some way to repay you all if the site takes off -- maybe some free products, jerseys, store credit, etc.
We plan to do our "pilot" this season using just our own network of friends and hope to expand more next year. I'd love to come down to the area later this season too and do some riding. I'd actually come for the IM but it conflicts with the NYC Marathon. Until then any input would be greatly appreciated.
Hope to hear from you!
