Team Visits Brewery
|
Rochester, NY To begin the relationship, the team was invited for a brewery tour. [photos] The tour was one part how do you make beer, and one part how do you make money making beer. The team learned that we are a crucial part of the second formula. We all look forward to a win/win relationship in 2005. Yes, we did get to sample all of the products. Let me set the scene, a bunch of athletes who normally ingest 3 to 4000 calories a day had not eaten since breakfast and we were forced to sample our sponsors products. An incredible team building experience. We look forward to many race win celebrations with our sponsor's products. |

Cancer Survivorship Rides Continue
|
|
|
Rochester NY, Due to the continued sponsorship and riders willing to spend their time towards a wonderful cause, the cancer survivorship rides will continue this summer. The Cancer Survivorship aspect of the team is perhaps the most impressive. It is a method for each of us to give back something to those who need the most help. Currently Dwight is leading the winter effort with spin classes on Monday evening. See http://wellness.interlakesoncology.org/ for more information on Interlakes Oncology and the survivorship rides. |

Cheyne Hoag Crosses the Finish Line First!
|
May 2, 2005 Virgil NY---Junior Cheyne Hoag crossed the finish line first at Hollenbeck this weekend, crushing other juniors that were cat 3s. Cheyne's win was stolen due to a mechanical issue that limits the largest gear a junior can use during a race. Keep your eyes on him during the Bristol race this weekend to see him in action, and hopefully capture the prize he so deserves. |

JW Dundee's Draws First Blood!
|
April 5, 2005 - Victor, NY In the first event of the season-long GVCC race series (The G Tour), Dave Rowley and Jim Fetten of the JW Dundee's Premium Beers Cycling Squad powered to a first and second place finish respectively in the club's B group race. It was an especially harsh race for the first race of the season, with plenty of stiff competition coming from some of the other teams. The last time up the big climb on the Victor course, the hammer went down, and Dave and Jim were among a select few that blew apart the remaining peleton. After catching the last of the skinny climber-types on the fast downhill into the finish, Dave and Jim turned the motors on, and no one else could hang on, as the two of them cruised across the finish line. A great show of strength, and yet another win for Dave Rowley. Congrats, Dave! We figure it will just be a matter of time before club president Todd Scheske awards Dave with his "scarlet letter". |
Dave Rowley wins B Division Giro's
| When all the points are counted, including total number of first places, Dave Rowley is the winner! Dave leads the JW team in number of wins this year. Congrats to Dave, and the entire squad for a stellar performance early in the year. |
