Jeff and I have been hard at work today finishing up the final touches on the new website. We still have some gaps to fill in like an accurate 2010 schedule. Plus we are in the middle of lining up sponsors for the 2011 season which is why you will notice the sponsorship section is a bit blank.
All and all I think the new site looks pretty hot! Let us know what you think and what other areas you might be interested in seeing. That is it for now, keep checking in for more updates.

MassenaCross and my hero Doug Osborne
MassenaCross is still on and will be held October 2nd!
Forms have been submitted, the town park is being prepped, and the barriers being constructed. MassenaCross is in its first year and will be a non-competitive fun ride sanctioned through USA-Cycling. We wanted to introduce the sport to the community in a fun laid back setting with hopes of building it into a fully sanctioned event for points, prizes, and bragging rights.
Registration is just $20 and includes a free T-shirt to go with your day of fun. Register here!
I also wanted to let you know of my hero, Doug Osborne. Jeff K and I went down to Lake Placid to cheer on Doug. Doug is a freshman at UNH and has joined their cycling team. Doug in his first mtb race ever (as far as I know) took 3rd in the XC and 4th in the STCX. Not bad huh? Results can be found here. The XC was a pretty crazy course that was just crazy technical. Half the field actually missed a turn and cut the course short.
Team Wear On Earth plans on tackling more of the mountain biking scene next year with a second half transition to the trails. This will really help out riders like Doug who will then be hitting the collegiate season in full swing already racing/training on the trails. This doesnt mean we are neglecting the road as I plan to still be hitting up crits in the later part of the year, maybe I will actually race Thater (dear friends, please no more wedding on that weekend).

A Great Season, Hopefully More to Come.
I had some extra time on my hands today, so I thought I would share some thoughts that have come across my mind these past weeks.
This summer has been one of the best experiences of my life; the amazing friends, amazing trips, amazing riding, etc etc. I couldn't had imagined this summer going any better, and hearing all the things everyone has been talking about with the possible direction of this team gets me really wanting it to be late February so we can get out racing soon! All of you guys are awesome, and I couldn't imagine being in a better group of guys; Bruce, Doug, Tim, Mike, Jeff, Eric, et al. (And possibly the addition of a nameless Cat3 rider) You guys rock. I appreciate and understand what Mike, Tim, and Bruce are putting into me with being on this team, as there are also better riders out there, but I know I'm completely dedicated to making the dream of having an all-cat 3 team a reality.
I'm excited to hear about the direction of the team, with having the middle of the season turned to focus on mountain bike racing (which is AWESOME). And apparently we're all going to have to try out Downhill riding. I hope we can get some guys to do cyclocross this year!
Not sure what else to write about, but I figured with the ending of GMSR, now would be a good time to show my appreciation and to say how impatient I am for next season with all of my friends.

Two great local events- Tri Town Bike Race and Norwood Tri
Hey everyone,
Thought I would toss out two great local racing opportunities. Team Wear On Earth will be representing both in force. The first is this upcoming weekend, the Tri-Town Bike Race, in Brasher Falls NY. So far we have Mike, Jeff, Bruce, and myself making the trek up. Although it is not an official USA-C race we are happy to be supporting cycling in any way here in the North Country. You never know who might show up! The race is to benefit the Tri-Town Summer Festival which is going to be held the following week. Registration starts at 10am at the Tri Town Community Center, race starts at 11am. For more info contact michelle2@yahoo.com.
The second of our local events would be the Norwood Triathlon which is on Aug 21st in Norwood, NY! Norwood already hosts a very successful duathlon series and this is another event to add to the mix. Last week at the duathlon series we had a good showing for WOE team members including myself, Scott, Mike, and new member Ben. We congregated around the Pepsi Car that was giving out water and ice tea after the race before heading to Little Italy for pizza. Pepsi-Cola Ogdensburg does a great job supporting local fitness activities.
Team Wear On Earth has two main groups of athletes, cyclists and triathletes. It is great to have these local events and I personally hope to see the events continue to grow as more people get into cycling and multi-sport activities.
