Currently our plan is to leave for Fitchburg,MA on Tuesday, which is about a 5 hour drive from Kutztown. The Fitchburg Longslo Classic Stage Race starts on the 3rd with a 10 K time trial, followed by a 92 mile road race, a 50 mile circuit race, and a 25 mile crit, for a total of four days of racing. We will be racing in the Category 2 field, so expect some news as we take on some of the best cat 2s in the country. After the race is over we are heading back to Kutztown for a few days.
After a brief rest, we will once again pack the car and head to Chicago (12 hour drive) to start Superweek, a 17 day long series with 15 crits and 2 road races. We will hit a few races around the Chicago area, then go to the Milwaukee area to race, then back track to Kutztown. Once we get back, we have to box our bikes and ship them out to California for nationals. If that wasn't enough, we have to clean the house and say good bye to Kutztown, as we have to drive back to Atlanta (12 hours). Once we get back we have a few rest days until we board the plane for California on August 2nd.
On August 6th we have a 35K time trial in Anaheim, CA followed by a 60 K crit on the 7th. Then we get a day to prepare for the 129 K road race on Saturday the 9th. Hopefully we will return to Atlanta in good spirits on August 12th! After nationals we will regroup, rest, and figure out the rest of the season.

What's fast, growing, and everywhere?
What exactly is Kudzu? Well, if you are from the south you'd probably say that it grows everywhere on everything and is nearly impossible to stop (just like our team). For those of you that haven't had the pleasure of experiencing kudzu, this literally happened overnight.

The plant is native to Southern Japan and China but was brought to the Southern United States to help prevent soil erosion and has continued to grow almost exponentially. For a full kudzu history lesson click here .
Now that you know so much about Kudzu and the south, you can appreciate Kudzu.com, an online business directory that incorporates customer reviews. It is part of the Cox Enterprises family and title sponsor of the Atlanta based Kudzu.com U23 team. So the next time you are searching for a local business give Kudzu.com a try!
