If has a 26" wheel and/or has suspension its always Expo Racing.
Once Expo Racing becomes a registered Team in the USCFs eye, I'm all expo, I just don't want my license to say "unattached". I'll even do the paper work I just need to figure out who is going to pay the $150 to process it.
Thats the problem. We're not getting pro dollars here. Are you worried a tour team might snatch you up with "unattached" on your card? I manually enter (in all caps) "EXPO" in the team section on any race entry form and it always seem to show up in the Race Results. I really don't let UCF or USCF determine if we are a team. It's the peeps! It's the peeps that have made EXPO what it is today. Not the USCF.
Don't float, become a Peep.
That's not always the case, It depends on the officiating and how ambitious they are sometimes it will make it to results sometimes it won't. BTW, your's and Christie's Christmas presents are in Aris and Theo's possession, you can get it from them at Christmas.
Please don't be hate'n
Not hate'n. Aris should be the Junior to beat next year anyways. You might as well jump on board now. All in.
I got the perfect idea. Lets spray paint EXPO on that jersey and put it on youtube!
What you also don't realize is that once we become a team, we can host a race, Hosting races are basically the equivalent of Fund raisers, it will easily off-set the $150. I don't have any exact #s but depending on turnout, you can expect 500-1000 of income depending. I know of a 20K TT course that would very easy to put on on the NW of Hartford, with ample parking, throw in a few corner guards and you have a race(TT). It would be nice to have a Crit too, but with the size of our team I think a TT would be good enough. Don't forget we are going to Co-Promote the Washington Park race with the folks from Velo Trocadero next year. I will solicit Mike for the $150, I will also Solicit Personalized Products, if neither of them pick it up, I will have to, but no matter what we are going to be a team next year. A team is more than a jersey. It has to exist on paper. making yourself more legit can help us bring in more sponsors, especially for the team as a whole. when you register the Team all of our licenses are public information, so when you do a Racing Resume Potential Sponsors can audit it through USA Cycling. $150 might sound like a lot, but it gets you a lot.
BTW, Desicrating a Jersey is a great way to make enemies in the racing world. The fact that you would even consider that is really poor sportsmanship, lets keep it to the Dirt or pavement and let the Racing do the talking, I know your better than that. I don't have any enemies on the Sharks except for Erik Meyer and Peter Smith, otherwise they are all nice guys.
