Team Active Cycling and Fitness
As Mid-Michigan's premier cycling store, Team Active Cycling and Fitness of Battle Creek, MI has been supporting the racing team since 2005 and is proud to continue for 2012. It's one of the largest Trek dealerships in the state of Michigan and also sells Cannondale bikes in addition to The North Face and Patagonia clothing. Conveniently located in downtown Battle Creek, they feature a second-floor test track, so you can take your new bike for a spin, even when the weather's not cooperating.

Looking forward to having the blog available to post race stories and results. Prepping for the 30 plus mile Barry Roubaix gravel road race...
ReplyDeleteThanks Jack. Looking forward to reading all your updates. See you Friday!
ReplyDeleteI look forward to making a comeback into racing after two years off. The benefits of having a couple of great title sponsors with the first hand knowledge and experience in competitive cycling is a major bonus. Team Active Cycling has always been known for having a wide variety of athletes that produce amazing results. Now that they are financially backed by WSI and dawning new colors for 2012, I can only imagine that we will see tremendous growth for future cyclists and continue to see top notch results from returning athletes. May God bless this team this year and keep them healthy!!! Oh yeah, RIDE FAST!!!
ReplyDeleteWell said Shonger! Looking forward to having you back.
ReplyDeleteI am thinking I need to figure out how to start a new post...lots of things on my mind...looking forward to another race year. WSI's sponsorship is exciting and encouraging me to put a little more effort into my 'efforts', if you know what I mean. Super excited about finding a place to ride around my office here in Ann Arbor that is nearly 'automobile free' until about 8am. I have been parking my car at the NCRB (North Campus Recreation Building) and then leaving for a gravel road ride that is about 20 miles of continuous gravel. I see more deer and pheasant than cars before the sun comes up. It has been coolish, but the NCRB has a sauna that is a great reward after a couple hours of riding. (Feel like I am living large!)
ReplyDeleteBarry Roubaix is on the horizon and the hills haunt me every day. Interestingly, the Barry Roubaix and the Iceman have nearly the same distance and almost the same amount of hills...but for whatever reason, the BR is always in my kitchen. I am hopeful that this nice weather is not going to stop short of showing up on race day.
This winter, we did 20 minute hard intervals twice with a 5 minute recovery between...we did that every Thursday and I am feeling stronger because of it. (I think). BR always is a wake up call. I think I am Floyd Landis until the first hill, then I realize I am a University Employee with less fitness than I should have. In any case, the season is upon us. Let us embrace the race!
