Vail Lake Race - 1 Down, 3 to Go

Our first race of the 2010 season is over - and was definitely a success. 15 riders from St. Francis made it to the Vail Lake venue and for the 5th straight race in the SoCal league continued our primary goal of having all racers finish. Considering the crashes and mechanicals that we had today, that was quite an accomplishment. Matt Kubly even finished the race with a seat after his broke off during a crash!

Six families made it down on Saturday night for a team dinner and some campfire time. Very cold temperatures greeted us on Sunday morning - but things heated up for race time. By noon, it was close to 80 degrees and the sun was very strong. I'm very proud of our team - the race was truly a learning experience since 8 of our riders had never done a race before. Our next race is on March 28th at Warner Springs and we are going to work hard to do even better there!

Team Party

Our ride last Saturday was another tough climb up Beaudry. This week we increased our intensity by doing some climbing repeat intervals. By the time we got to the top of Whiting Woods, almost everyone was pretty cooked.


Good thing we were headed to a party! The team parents met us at the CV Park and we had an awesome picnic. Lots of food incluing carne asada grilled up by Mr. Kubly.


Thanks parents for getting the team party together. All of us had a great time!

Saturday Rides

Our Saturday morning rides have been climbing rides to help our overall fitness and stamina. On Saturday, we rode up the Beaudry fire road to the top of the Verdugo mountains! Everyone had their new St. Francis kit on and we definitely looked like a Pro cycling team! Thank you very much Mr. Kubly for making the video below of us on our ride.

Our 2010 Clothing is Here!

A tradition in cycling for many teams is getting new team clothing each year. We use the new clothing each year to make sure that we properly represent our sponsors and change the look up to help keeps things fresh. I am very pleased to announce that our new clothing has already arrived!

Our clothing was designed this year by a VERY special person, Cici Arenas. Thank you Cici! Also, we have switched from Hincapie to LG. Thanks LG for your great assistance in getting everything done so quickly. Pictures below.
