Team Type 1, Team Type 2 Athletes with Diabetes, Athletes with a Diabetes Cause, Will Dugan .

Echappe friend Will Dugan is now riding with TT1 for a bit.  His Tour of Utah race went well enough for him, so now he’s in North Carolina racing the USPro race.  Congrats to Will and we look forward to racing with him this ‘cross season.  Hopefully he doesn’t make us look too stupid.

Nothing that I ever search for on cyclingnews has valid links.  This site used to be so good.  Now its so terrible.  Time for someone to create a worthy site that has race results.

The New York Velodrome Project.

We really would love to have a local wood velodrome here. Kissena is a great venue, but hard to get to for us during rush hour traffic.  A Manhattan location for weekly racing would be awesome.
