Team WM/Racelab U25 in conjunction with Team WM/Arizona Masters is excited to announce that it will continue to be a force for the 2011 race season. In a joint cooperation, the organization will organize a three pronged racing strategy consisting of Team WM/Arizona Masters, Racelab U25 Development Team, and a new for 2011 mountain bike team. All three components of WM/Racelab will be focusing on competing at a variety of west coast cycling events. This diverse plan of attack will allow Team WM/Racelab to make its presence felt in a wide arena of competitive events.

Logistics for the 2011 season are coming together nicely, and team apparel will be available for purchase end of September. Equipment sponsors have been lined up, inquire for more details. The team is still accepting applications for team members, and motivated racers are encouraged to contact Steve Cullinan (stevec@racelabu23.com) for additional details.

The team was very encouraged by the initial success achieved this past season as it branched out from the traditional model of being a road only team, and hopes to make next season an even bigger success as it attacks the west coast cycling world on all fronts.

There is a new cycling club in town called Scottsdale Cycling Club.

All about social riding and having a good time!

I had the good fortune of jumping in with the West Valley Saturday Ride.

Leaves 6AM from Lifetime Fitness, Litchfield and McDowell.

About 40-50 riders, fast rolling terrain with several sprint sections along the way.

I highly recommend this one! Great group with a good attitude!
