sounds good. I've got some evening commitments this weekend, so if we can do this at least late-morning you'll get more out of me than a kick in the balls.

Remington! are you starting with the intra-team smack talk already?

for example: if you can carry a fast pace for 5 minutes and ditch an assload of people, you can slow down and sit into a pack again. being able to go 100 miles is not as important as being able to break away with a pack going 20+ mph for 4 minutes or sprint the shit out of a medium long hill.

While the occasional pirate rider is a fact of an event like this, an entire brigade of over 50 organized riders is classless and rude.

Paperwork and stuff from www.usacycling.org. I just ran through this real quick during class. We should get together and talk about this after our training ride this weekend.

http://www.usacycling.org/news/user/story.php?id=666 We'd be registering as a club, and as far as I can tell, we wouldn't even be allowed to wear logos other than our own (without registering sponsorship). My new Surly t-shirt is out of the question, I suppose. Bastards.
http://www.usacycling.org/forms/clubapp.pdf It will be $150 to register the club. 10 members, 15 bucks? Not too bad, but we all have to get licenses!
http://www.usacycling.org/forms/license_app.pdf 60 bucks.
And don't forget your race numbers from WSBA!
http://www.wsbaracing.com/license.asp. 15 bucks. "Teams are encouraged to register as a group rather than by individual members."

About 90 dollars, plus day-of race fees for each race.

Both the licenses and numbers can be rented day of, but it's a lame way to go if you want to race more than twice. We could also skip registering our club and all buy licenses as "unattached," and just cooperate. Everyone will know we're a group by our clothes/bikes and tasteless jokes.
