Music Biz: lots of bookings coming in for the duo and trio. Hopefully this will be a fruitful holiday season.
Coaching Biz: The 2004 racing season is wrapping up and it's now time to plan the next season. I am not interested in handling more than a few athletes in 2005. I will continue with one expert mountain bike racer from Covington, GA (age 32), together we had a successful 2004 season. I'm currently negotiating with one neo-pro female mountain bike racer from Winder, GA (age 30), she wants me but her sponsor thinks I'm too expensive. I am hoping to get charge of one male triathlete from Dacula, GA now attending Western KY in Bowling Green, KY (age 20), he happens to be Rachel's roommate's brother.
Cycling Team: I have arranged for the Gwinnett Touring Club (GTC) to assist me in growing a grassroots racing team. I managed to score several product sponsors including Addictive Cycles bike shop, Cannondale bicycles, as well as several cash sponsors from within the club.
For now the team(s) will consist of a two-man cyclocross team (Masters 30+ & 40+) and a three-man road team (Masters 45+). The sponsor's discounts on bikes, parts and services will go to the racing team members, while the cash will be offered to all GTC club members for race reimbursement based on results - probably something like this.
Here's the design I came up with for the new team/club uniforms. Hopefully we will have them in time for the Georgia Cyclocross Championships in November.
