Thursday Night w/o This Week @ WMS!

Looking for a challenge? Check out the Thursday Night Workout lead by Sargeant Mstowski at the Winfield Middle School. This workout is open and FREE to all ABD members. Doors open at 6:45 PM and the workout will begin around 7:15. This is a great heart-pounding workout in a fun, group atmosphere.

Riders are required to bring their bike, cycling clothes & shoes, a towel and an indoor trainer (i.e CycleOps, Tacx, Cateye, etc.) The workouts, which include a warm-up, start a little after 7 PM and doors open at 6:45 PM for riders to start getting ready. Please enter the Middle School from the parking lot in the back.

If you do not have a trainer but would like to participate in the workouts, please contact Jenny & Terry Cerwin about arranging to have a trainer brought for you.

ABD Update: Thank You Volunteers!

Thanks to all the ABD volunteers who helped to start 2007 off with a fantastic indoor TT event. All the feedback I've received has been very positive, and everyone is looking forward to round 2. Personally, I had a lot of fun and it was great to see the senior ABD'ers coaching the newbies through both the racing and the working! It also seems like the new venue is going to work out well (once we sorted out the electricity!), and the School is excited to have the event. If you have any feedback, don't hesitate to shoot me an e-mail: ebert@abdcycling.com

A Thank You From Reid Mumford

I wanted to drop you all a line to thank you for the wonderful time
that I've had being a part of the Athletes by Design cycling club.

First and foremost, I need to thank all of my elite team team-mates.
You have been a great group of guys to travel with, race with, and
learn from. I include as part of the team my wife, Jenni. She has
been a huge help this year. Much of the year she traveled with the
team to nearly all of our races. She is an expert feeder and
photographer and patient enough to deal with an entire team of
psychotic bicycle racers. I don't think that any of us even know how
to mix Gatorade now thanks to Jenni.

Second. I need to thank Mike and Mary Lee for all of their support.
Without them and their excitement for our racing we couldn't have
accomplished what we have the past couple of years.

Third. I'd like to send a specific thank you to Rob Jungels. I don't
think that we realize how lucky we are to have such a gifted and
generous mechanic as part of our club. Jungels, you're the man.
Thank you for all of your help and advice.

Fourth. Last but not least, I'd like to thank all of you the club
members. Your enthusiasm and dedication to bicycle riding and racing
is fantastic. Your dedication to the club has enabled our elite team
to be the highest ranked amateur team (based on NRC points) in 2006.
Your financial dedication to our success has been very generous and I
thank you for it. Your cheering voices whenever we raced here in the
Midwest has also been fantastic. Its always nice to race with a bit
of a hometown advantage; all we seem to need is a couple of you and
ABD is immediately the loudest cheering section on the entire course.

For the 2007 season, I have signed a contract with the Kelly Benefit
Strategies/Medifast professional cycling team. The team management
is based in Minneapolis and is being directed by Jonas Carney. The
title sponsors are both businesses that are based in Baltimore. I am
looking forward to the new opportunity to learn and develop as a
bicycle racer. Our first race in 2007 will be the Tour of the Bahamas
over the first weekend of February. I'm planning on hitting the
first couple of ABD indoor TT events so hopefully I'll see many of you
around then.

Thanks for all of your support, encouragement, and help. You've been
a great club and I'm proud to be one of you the past couple of years.

ABD New Year's Ride

They did it! 20 ABD'ers braved the not-so-frigid temps to log the official mile for every degree on New Year's Day: 38 to be exact!
