American Equity's New Team Member

We added a seventh member to the elite American Equity Racing Team... JJ Bailey.  From Lou Waugaman's Blog Entry...

"JJ Bailey USAC cat 2 - Over the past several years JJ has been tearing up the triathlon scene culminating in his win at ITA World Championships. He has also been a regular in local and regional cyclocross racing. He is the founder of one of the largest athletic coaching companies around called Zoom Performance. JJ's is an "all-arounder" but his main strength is in timetrailing where he is a state champion. This season JJ will focus his efforts on the road and cyclocross for American Equity Racing. "

That's a pretty sweet addition...  read  Lou's Post, for his perspective on the team's 2011 rundown.

We have had several meetings in which we worked out a team budget, racing calendar, team kit/bike design, sponsors, training camp,  etc.  We spent quite a bit of time talking about socks, but that will happen during the off-season... I am impressed with how effectively this team is able to communicate.

The Velosport Club is thinking about putting on a USAC race or Grand Fondo type Race/Rec event as a fundraiser.  It was mentioned that the Quad Cities Criterium might be up for grabs... hmm, I suggested that they move it to Davenport, IA and add Brady Street Hill to the course... man that would be sweet.

Here is a sneak peak at the bike some of the members of the of the American Equity team will be riding...
