Phonak to be disband

Floyd's former team will cease to exist after the end of the season. With the history of team rider doping cases and uncertainty of the renewal of their ProTour license they were unable to secure sponsorship for the 2007 season. So team owner Andy Rihs decided to call it quits.

Race 2 Replace - Race Report

I placed 9th out of 150 in my heat (age 35-49). I must say that I'm pretty damn happy with that. My teamate, Tony, place 3rd in the same heat. We averaged just over 27mph for the 25 mile race.

I'll be editing this post in the next day or so to include the details of my race.
