Yesterday Sam Kessler participated in the USCF Cat 4/5 race held in downtown Pittsburgh. The race was very well managed and everything seemed to run smoothly, and with the exception of some potholes around the second corner, the course was pretty much perfect.
Update* Sam got 8th

Race Side Note* Lungs hate the cold

We will be placing shirt orders this week. Thanks to everyone who donated money and helped fund the start-up costs of the team! We won’t let you down

After counting all the tallies for shirt colors: BLACK WINS

If you ordered a shirt and you absolutely can’t stand black then shoot me an email and I will refund your money to you. Once the shirts arrive I will be contacting everyone by either phone or email to discuss shipping methods (pick-up/drop-off/UPS/etc).

Thanks again everyone!

The team plans on racing in the USCF Criterium race on March 23rd. The race will be held in downtown Pittsburgh. For more information check out: http://www.steelcityshowdown.com/

The criterium will be a one-of-a-kind race through the downtown area of Pittsburgh. Riders will learn why Pittsburgh is often called “The City of Bridges,” as they will be racing a a backdrop of the waterfront and downtown skyline.

Thanks to everyone who supported the team by buying a Humanaut t-shirt! We raised roughly $700! That’s $100 more than our initial goal. All the funds will go towards helping us pay for team resources.

Shirts will be made and distributed very shortly!
