Competitive Velo for 2012

Hi Everyone,

I just wanted to reach out and let you know our plans for the 2012 Competitive Velo-Chain Reaction Bike Team.  Mark Tatum from Chain Reaction Cycles and I have been working through the details and it looks pretty good.

From here on out, Mark and I plan to operate the team as a Competitive Velo-Chain Reaction cooperative effort.  With the shop’s added direct involvement, it will be much easier for us to keep things running smoothly.

Our objectives are to maintain a “Shop Team” with active and motivated bike racers that is manageable and consistent, with goal of once again being Alabama’s premier cycling team and a major force in the south central region cycling community.

By “Shop Team” I mean a team of riders who are STRONGLY affiliated with Chain Reaction Cycles.  The team will consist only of local folks because the expectation is that all team members will have a vested interest in the team, the shop, and the success of both… and will be called upon at some time to lend a hand with team activities.

As for sponsors, of course Chain Reaction is, and always has been a big contributor in more ways than just finances, but we have also secured a title sponsor with ResQSoft Inc.  ResQSoft is an outstanding IT company and some of the best folks with whom I have ever worked.  Chris Woods and Mark are working on a few others, but as of today, Bruce Herbitter and OSI Buildings Inc. have committed sponsorship for the 6th year in a row!  Bo Potter from Midstate Advertising & Signs has also committed to their second year of sponsorship for the team.  We also have Specialized as a sponsor for merchandise… sweet!






If you wish to ride with us for 2012, let me know as soon as you can.  I have posted the new membership application on this site and it is available from the menu above or from this URL:

Also, we will probably have a season kick-off get-together very soon… more info on that shortly. In the meantime, I look forward to hearing from you and racing with you this year.

After Christmas Blended Ride – Walnut Creek, Clanton

Time: Sunday, December 26 · 11:00am – 2:00pm
 
Location: Hiott Residence
4773 County Rd 32
Clanton, AL

Created By: Competitive Velo, David Hiott
 
More Info: This is a 35 mile blended ride that is mostly on Chilton County dirt roads. There is about 7 or 8 miles of pavement and rest is graded dirt. This ride is ideally suited for Cyclocross bikes, but MTBs will be fine. Definitely no road bikes. Since the dirt roads occasionally have some sharp gravel, I don’t recommend tubulars… you could have a long walk. The pace will be social but there is a good bit of climbing. This 35 miles feels more like 50.

Here is a link to the ride map:
