Stage 2: Circuit Race
Kyle - 35th
Jordan - 16th

Stage 3: Criterium Race
Kyle - 39th
Jordan - 43rd

Overall General Classification:

Some pictures of the kits on our model, Kyle Stallings.

Kyle took 11th in the 1/2/3 race at El Dorado on Tuesday. Good friend of the team, Ian Moir took 3rd. Mike took 7th in the 4/5 race, one better than last time.

Next up for our 3's Kyle and Jordan is San Dimas Stage race starting friday with the 3.8 mile uphill time trial on Glendora Mountain Road. Kyle and Jordan should be on good form as they made an excellent showing at the Southern Nevada Stage race a few weeks earlier.
Meanwhile Mike is up north planning to attend the much smaller Hanford Criterium, flat with multiple turns (great!).

Can we start again? Friends Cycling for 2009

-This site fell off halfway through last year, I will try to do better to keep it updated more frequently this time around.

-For 2009 our team has grown much larger, and we are all very excited for what the future holds. Our current roster is:

Jordan Haggard, Kyle Stallings, Corey Patterson, Jacques Johnson, Michael Roecklein, James Pettit, Crystal Talbot, Frank Moir, Andre Nash, Jason Seitz, Dan Levine, Andrew Wilson, Bryan Butler, Joyce Bachmann, Kevin Chacon

-Our team is predominantly made up of cat 4 riders, but most of them hope to make the move to category 3 sometime during the year to support our elite riders.

-We now have respectable team kits, and hope they make it onto more than a few podiums throughout the year:
