Reb, I apologize for the delay.  I don't really know what to say in my write up.  It isn't much, but here is my bio. On another note, the "What's new" section of the website has a spelling typo.  The word "dramaticly" is spelled wrong. ~~~~~ Jason Saputo has just completed his second season with team PoWER.  This year was his first competitive year racing and next year is looking forward to a full season of racing throughout the Washington D.C. metro area.  Jason likes to focus on road style races and hasn't quite developed a specialty just yet.  He divides his training across the various disciplines of climbing, endurance, and sprinting. ~~~~~~~~~~ ....oh well, I tried!!!  Please feel free to modify it as you see fit Reb.  You have ridden with me enough to know what the best things to say are.  Also, I'm not as good as you at editing photos so all I did was resize them and adjust the brightness.  I know you have specific requirements so I didn't want to mess with it too much.  I included two so you can select whichever works best. I am off the injured list and I am slowly getting back into reestablishing my fitness and form.  I can't wait until next year!!!

To: "PoWER Power18@Yahoogroups.Com" <power18@yahoogroups.com> Date: Sunday, November 2, 2008, 8:33 PM PoWER is in the process of securing new sponsorship for the 2009 season and beyond.  In this delicate process we have come to the conclusion that we need input from each member of the team.  This will require each team member to please send a quick one paragraph of information about themselves.  We might edit this down or "FLUF" it up to show the value of each rider.  Not everyone on the team races and not everyone on the team rides each week, but we all have a common goal of why we ride and that is what we are trying to show.  A basic "BIO"  of each rider will be put on our website for prospective sponsors to view and some of the BIO's will be put in an information packet to be sent to sponsors to show the diversity of our team.    We are also asking if everyone can take a small digital head shot of themselves in their team jersey.  If you can ha ve a family member or friend take this picture with a neutral or white background wall behind you so that every shot looks the same.  (*Photo Advice: Stand about a foot away from the wall when taking the picture to avoid shadow when using a flash on a point and shoot digital camera.  Please make sure that we can see your whole jersey.)  This process is moving very fast and it would be great if everyone could to this as soon as possible.   Thanks.
