KMS Cycling Team, the prep school mt. bike racing season is finally here! Racing begins this coming Wednesday, September 21, at Proctor and continues thru the first Wed in November and finals are the first Sat. in November.
There is no requirement to do any minimum number of races to be on the KMS team for the mtb season, so it's fine to just do whatever races you can.
Each Wed, we'll leave the SH at 12 noon and most races start at 3:30 pm. The race schedule has been posted on the team website as part of our overall racing schedule.
There are no specific team training rides, although all riders are highly encouraged to attend the WBC weekly Thurs night mt. bike ride (with lights) until snow flies.
Here's the team roster I have so far:
Women: Erin Donohue
Mens A: Ansel Dickey, Alden Suokko, Kenny McNeil Mens B: Tommy Shebell Mens C: Eli Grossman
The team jerseys will be fully sublimated long-sleeve free ride jerseys any any shorts you'd like to wear (some kids will be sporting bermudas). Jerseys are in and are $75. You can give me a check when I see you.
If anyone else is interested in racing, please let me know asap. Otherwise, I'll expect to see all team members ready to go at the SH this Wed at noon. Please have bikes tuned ahead of time as there will be no time for tuning/repairs before the races.
Thanks!
Coaches Vollers and Hadley

Entering for cross races
Hi all:
The team website is up to date for the cross races we'll be doing in the near future, so take a look and see which races you'd like to do and go ahead and enter on your own. I'll keep an eye on the confirmed rider list on bikereg to see who's going. For now, it would be good to have everyone enter the Green Mountain Cross race this Sat and then the Noreaster cross race in Burlington on Sept. 24.
Almost every cross race has a cub junior (14 and under) category, so all of our cub crossers are welcome to race. There were about 20 (YES 20!) cub racers at the race in Maynard last Sun!
To clarify, it's my understanding that we have the following licensed cross racers in the team:
Erin Donohue
Alden Suokko
Ansel Dickey
Ely Grossman
Carl Gebhardt
To be eligible to race most of the races, the cub junior will need to turn 10 years old no later than sometime in 2012. Please let me know if any of our kid racers are interested as I have a 24" inch Redline cross bike at our disposal for anyone who doesn't have a cross bike.
Thanks!

Plan for the week
Congrats to the club cyclocrossers for a great season opener at the Quadcross race in Maynard, MA. Jim Giller was 6th in the Cat 4 55 plus, Coach was 4th in the Cat 1-3 45 plus and Ansel Dickey was 4th in the Juniors. Ansel was leading the race handily before he made the dreaded error of not fully releasing his left foot from the pedal before he dismounted into a small barricade and run-up. Let's just say he'll never make that mistake again.
Plan for the week:
Today: kids ride at 5 (leave at 5:30). We'll do some cross drills on the ride.
Tues: cross training race at Harpoon. Van leaves at 5. Kids' tutorial at 5:40, race starts at 6.
Wed: usual dirt road ride. Leave by 5:30 sharp.
Thurs: mt. bike ride at Brownsville triangle. Lights are mandatory now, so see Dan at the SH if you don't have yours yet.
Friday: TSR
Saturday: Green Mountain Cross race in Williston. All team Cubs (9-14 year olds) welcome!
Sunday: Portsmouth Criterium. Kids race too!
KMS team see team website for race links and registration details.
