California Dreamin

Not much has happened since we got back into Atlanta. Joey was 11th and Oscar was 14th in the Gwinnett Bike Fest road race on July 26th. Other than that everybody has been resting from our summer racing campaign on the hopes of riding into a good result at U23 nationals.

On Wednesday August 6th, Joey and Oscar will try to ride the time trial of their life in the U23 tt, which is an impressive 35 K (Thomas and Jafer decided to save it for the crit and road race).


On Thursday August 7th, we will race the U23 crit which might be broken down into heats if there are too many riders. Having heats makes the race much safer because it reduces the peleton but it also makes it more nerve racking since you have to make sure you make it to the final round.


On Saturday August 9th, we will race the U23 road race in heats (if needed) for a distance of 55 K. The final road race will be on Sunday which is a distance of 166 K or 103 miles.


Our flight leaves tomorrow morning around 9:40 am and we should arrive in Los Angeles around 11 am.

Looks like California should be fun (we promise to wear our helmets)!

Hi Team Kudzu (and Thomas):
Looking forward to seeing you all in sunny SoCal - we're planning a dinner for you guys for Thursday night - do you like Mexican??

love you.

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!
