The last three days have been great! We are all shocked at the level of interest displayed by visiting parents -- very impressive. The weekend rides saw a great turnout of visiting parents and family members of Whitties. Allegro Cyclery even sold out all their rentals for the weekend! For your reference, Friday's ride went over five mile hill; on Saturday we went south of town along Cottonwood and Powerline Roads; Sunday's ride took us north to Ferris loop. We will certainly do this type of event again in the future so we all look forward to seeing you then. A number of parents expressed interest in keeping up with the team. In the Spring, we keep very busy with regional racing and community events, so to keep up with the team we have a team supporters email list.
During the racing season there are weekly emails on results and stories from the racing team. During the off-season we use this list usually about twice a month to let you know about our clothing orders, community events and various sponsorship deals available to you through your affiliation with the team (50% off Rudy Projects!).Want to join the list? Instructions here!

Our annual clothing order is happening in early November! Parents, alumni and fans of the team can order anything available to the team, everything from jerseys to shorts, jackets, vests, shoe covers -- the list goes on. For pictures and more information, jump on the team supporters email list, stay tuned to the website and check out our design here.
Some other quick and fun facts about the team:
- Our second annual bike safety rodeo at Edison Elementary went off without a hitch
- We continue to baffle our national competition with our stylish apparel
- However the podium at nats is also very nice
- Cyclocross is sweet....it doesn't matter how "wise" you are, you still try it!
- Watch our team video from 2008....the 2009 version is almost out of the oven so stay tuned!
Womens Team Time Trial:
Tense moments on the line for Roxy, Emily, Mia and Kendi at the start of Nats 2009 TTT - they crush MIT by over a minute.
Roxy did a great time trial and left it up to the big three to finish it off, Mia leading the charge in the final sprint for the line as the guys team (Nick, Zac, Colin and Glenn) cheer them in.
Mens Team Time Trial:
Nick, Colin, Duncan and Ben start Nats. They wound up placing 3rd, only 19 seconds off the win. Grabbing a podium was the goal for the event - first time on the podium in four year.
The guys almost at the line:
Favorite shot of the year after a perfect lead out train guaranteed a 1-2 finish for Ben and Duncan in the last criterium of the conference season.
That's all for now. Be sure to check back for more updates about the team's activities, and thanks again to everyone who helped make Family Weekend happen!
