36 years ago the "Early Bird Races" started in my hometown of Fremont. I broke away with another rider. I did the majority of the work and he won. 400+ pages in the USA Cycling rulebook, yet no mention of how many pulls you need to take in a break. Hey, I was a triathlete (nuf said) and had a lot to learn, and I've been on that learning path ever since.
Three decades and a team directorship, state, national and world championships behind me, the 2023 Early Bird Training Series is just a few weeks away. With a full five-week curriculum for new riders, and a need for experienced riders to welcome these riders into our sport, we start January 7 with new mentor training. Early Birds run January 8, 15, 22, 29 and Super-bowl Sunday February 5, 2023
Take a break for a week and then join our team at Valley of the Sun Stage Race (February 17-19) in Goodyear (22km ITT), Casa Grande (RR) and Phoenix (Crit), AZ. I'm happy to give some coaching advice to any Creative Blue Monster Club mates. Let me know if you plan to attend. Cheerfully, Larry Nolan
Do we have enough commitment to call this a “team race”? I have not raced in years but had a blast doing it when I did
Thanks @teamnolan for all of your help and mentoring for the team.
