Seasons over!

The season has wound down and with only a race or two left, most of us have called it a year.

There were a couple races in between my last update and this one.

Victor went down to Palatka to race a field consisting of on half Preferred Alliance, and a mix of others winding down the season. He was able to make the final break and snatched 8th place. Victor rode great this year and is always super fit...he's been a great asset to the team.

Curtis and Jeff attended a time trial and a circuit race in Stuart. The Koppster smoked the TT course and "stole" 3rd place...wow, this guy is turning out to be a TT powerhouse...I shutter to think about what he'll accomplish next year! In the circuit race, Curtis bridged to the final break. After a looooonnnnnggg season, he wasn't totally on top of his game...but did his share and ended up in 4th place, while Jeff did his part in the pack. Curtis has found an extra gear this year, and will be a rider to watch in 2008.

What a fantastic year we all had! We worked well as a team, and had some great results. I want to thank all of our sponsors for their support during this busy year...

Thanks to American Bicycle/Trek Store of Jacksonville for supplying us with outstanding equipment and service through the whole season. Jeff, Tony, Mike, Tim and the entire staff always went that extra mile...by far the most professional and friendliest bike shop in town!

Thanks to Kona Multisport for the continued support for our team, and helping Jeff become one heck of a rider in such a short time. You guys know your stuff!

Tony Boselli at Whataburger was very generous with his help to the team. He's also turning into quite an endurance athlete...racing in triathlons, and even coming out on some of the rides to give the best draft in the city! A true gentleman and a world class athlete.

Thanks all for a great year...and see you in 2008!
