Get ready to hammer and earn the right to be part of the prestigious sub-hour club if you can go under an hour for 40km. Limited quantity so come out early and earn your free athletic style t-shirt. Going with the black and blue color this year. Should be awesome.

We are looking forward to returning to Indiana for two action packed weekends of races in 2011. Often considered the most beautiful weekend of racing in the Midwest, the Ceraland JWD and Mooresville races held on April 9 and 10 seem to bring out the best in the racing community. Awesome venues, fun filled courses, competitive racing fields and a decent prize list will insure that this weekend is special. The JWD Ceraland sports a venue that is simply fun to race your bike. The Mooresville Race, rich in history, will surely test the riders leg as they come up pack-splitter. The strongest rider will usually win this one. Come for the entire weekend or just a single day. You won’t be disappointed with these races.

In May, the IRS returns to Eagle Creek Park for the Traditional Crit on its fabled course. Thisshould be another day of excellent crit racing with easy turns and a gradual uphill finish – always a great day of racing at Eagle Creek Park. The next day, get your speed machine ready and head out to Monrovia where you can earn a very cool sub-hour t-shirt (limited quantities so come out early). We have a whole schedule of 6 TTs throughout the spring and summer. We are excited to keep the longest benchmark running, thanks in large part to Nathan MccIntrye. We are excited about the upcoming season of races.

On a personal note, it was at times exceedingly difficult to keep things running in lieu of Joanne’s passing. She was such a instrumental part of the bike business and my life. I made the decision to keep going as I know she would want you to continue to do your best and to have a place where you could display your passion about this sport and life. I will never forget the TT we put on in NJ when just before on what turned out to be one the hottest TT of the season, a small rain came down ever so briefly and cooled us before the TT began. I could just sense Joanne’s presence. Good luck in 2011 and see you in warmer weather.

We are busy working on the schedule for next year. Here is what I have thus far:

1. JWD Race at Ceraland Park on April 9th
2. Mooresville Crit on April 10th
3. Monrovia TT #1 on April 17th
4. Eagle Creek Park Traditional on May 7th
5. Monrovia TT #2 on May 8
6. Monrovia TT #3 on June 5
7. Monrovia TT #4 on July 10 July 24
8. Monrovia TT #5 on August 7
9. Monrovia TT #6 on September 4
10. Eagle Creek Fast Crit…TBA

There may be one or two additions to the schedule.

Monrovia Time Trial Payouts forthcoming.
