   Sponsorship      ( email contact sponsorship director Cynthia Ferrer)  

  • Have your say about bikes and sponsorship - Racers, Its your turn to tell us what bikes and products you are interested in for the upcoming season. What race bike do you want next year? What products do you want at pro prices? Do you want coaching, training plans, training camps? These are pressing questions. Take the survey - the information you provide in the next 3 minutes will give us what we need to deliver the products and services you want in 2008-09.
    Sponsorship decisions get made in early Fall, so the survey will only stay open for a short time. Don't put it off - you know what you want, so tell us!   Thanks, TER Sponsorship

  • Interbike - Jon Farinholt attended and took lots of pictures.  Click here to see some desert riding and TER sponsors images.   Thanks Jon!

  • Cyclocross Clinic: I have received a couple of requests for another clinic because people missed that last one. If I get 5 people to RSVP with interest for another clinic, we will meet on a Weekday evening (likely beginning of the week, Monday or Tuesday). (I have 2 people that have contacted me so far). Contact Brian France if interested.

  • Training: Come to the races! You will get stronger, have fun and quickly figure out what you want to improve on.

    Contact: Contact  Brian France with any questions or suggestions.

  
   Road Training       ( email contact road racing directors Robin Waterman or Chris Porter)  
 

  • Free Pizza - TER mtn bikers won $200 in pizza and they are generously offering to share it with us road riders. They are riding on Saturday morning then meeting for pizza at a park near Basil Doc's (at 32nd and Federal, in NW Denver). Ride with some TER teammates on Saturday and then join in for the pizza after that. It seems that meeting at our usual spot in Morrison at about 9am would work well. Hope to see some of you Saturday!

  • Weekend training:

    Saturday: rides will be "show and go". This means that everyone should feel free to show up at Morrison and Rooney Rds, ready to ride by 9 am. Whoever is there can choose the route.

    Sundays: There is a ride organized by the Team Evergreen Club. All TER racers should consider joining in on these rides, as their training and racing schedule permits. Route and start times are listed on the TE website.

  • Boulder training ride - "Sunday Morning Fruit Loops" - Leaving from Downtown Boulder at the corner of 18th and Pearl Street in front of Full Cycle Bikes, we will head North on HWY 36 to Lyons, do a little scenic loop in Lyons, then head East for another loop of some farmland, and head back into boulder on N 75th Street. Total Distance is about 50 miles. Information?  Contact Jimmy Walter
