Completed the 2012 USA Cycling "Team of the Year" application earlier this week and I'm filled with an enormous amount of pride. For a "small" team we're helping the sport of cycling in so many ways... from grass roots ambassador efforts (charity rides, Early Birds, and every day training rides) to promotion (Little City Stage Race with a $2K Junior cash prize list, and Wed. Nite Track with no prize list :-), to junior and master racing at the local, state, national and world level.
We're closing in on another 100 wins season, but it will be "desperately close" as there are only so many cyclocross races in the month of December. All the same, it's the competition and good times that we're looking for, not just the wins.
As we get ready to sail into the new year I wanted to pause and say "thank you" once again to our supporters, our sponsors (Specialized, Zipp, SRAM, Clif, Squadra, and Strava), to our teammates for their efforts on and off the bike and to the parents of our juniors that have helped to make 2012 a great year for the whole team. 2012 was a memorable year and 2013 is there for us to dream about all of the possibilities that a new year brings.
Thank you Team Specialized! Cheers, Larry Nolan
