PCB fields a racing team in '08!

We wanted to do it last year, but got started too late. I can now say with confidence that PCB will field a racing team for the 2008 season.

Here's the deal: yeah, we want to win some races... but never at the expense of having fun. We don't plan to pursue any elite racers this year; we think it would be more fun to start with average and beginning racers, and grow together as a team. We want to find a group of guys and gals who will race for the team before individual accolades.

Our ultimate goal is to promote our sponsors (which will be announced soon), and to support newcomers to the sport, whether they're on our team or not.

To do that, we plan to have the coolest team tent at any race we attend. Rahr & Son's Brewing and their fine line of "Better Energy, Endurance, and Recovery" (B.E.E.R.) drink products will be an integral part of our team tent atmosphere. All other teams, unattached riders, and spectators will be welcome to visit.

Looks like our team jerseys will retain all the class of the original PCB jersey, but with a new twist: a bitchin' lavender color. The original sage and tangerine colors will be retained in stripes separating the white chest panel from the lavender body.

Here are some preliminary mock-ups of the new jerseys and shorts (note: co-sponsor logos are not accurate; we'll be finalizing soon):

Woo Hoo!

Dibs on being the guy that slows down the rest of the peleton so someone else can take the win.

Reason enough right here to renew my license this year.

Man, that is awesome news. I am thrilled for the shop and I am sure the team will do well. How can it not? And a beer sponsor? Dang...

W00t.

You know I'm in- as long as the team won't be hurt by my travel schedule (and my crappy riding, but that's different)...
