Where are you located? You can ride for some national clubs - Colavita, CycleSmart will let you buy there kit and race it (Adam Myerson's company), Deathrow Velo, are some. If you want a local team then show the guys that you are serious, race and keep bugging them. The other option is to start your own team,.

134 miles!? I thought I had it bad growing up 35 miles away. I know and fell your pain, dude. I had a similar experience Mt, bike racing in the late '90s. But then I was snubbed by the "local" shops because I was on a Huffy. However, at the time there were plenty of people who did not have a team affiliation and I had people I got to know and looked forward to seeing each weekend. Then when I went to VA with the Navy I joined a team through a guy who worked in my building. It was the wrong team…

But then I was snubbed by the "local" shops because I was on a Huffy. However, at the time there were plenty of people who did not have a team affiliation and I had people I got to know and looked forward to seeing each weekend. Then when I went to VA with the Navy I joined a team through a guy who worked in my building. It was the wrong team for me. There was a club in the area that I ended up hanging with most of the time at the group rides. By the end I was more of an outsider than when I started. So picking a team is important. I really do understand the whole "you paid how much?" speal all too well, and you have my sympathy. Hang in there. I would definitely look up the shop that puts on the CX race, or give them a call. If they are cool and into you joining the club then they are. If they cop an attitude, then look else where if you can. And definitely, for people's safety, keep the CX mags out of site. Otherwise people's heads might explode from the perfect sense a CX bikes makes. You know the whole efficient road bikeish bike that can take a beating off road too, and be used as a commuter or touring bike. It'd be too much for'em.<br />

thanks for the reply and the bar idea I promise I'll try it next time I visit bend! I'm afraid if I did it here I'd get jumped by the 4-H club! LOL!<br />
if I had a dollar for every time someone said ' you payed how much for that bike? It aint even got a motor!' then I'd have another really nice race bike.

hey robke,<br />
<br />
thanks for the ideas. we indeed do want to have a kit, but not really for team purposes although we'd be honored to have folks wearing it in training or races. jake has a cool design already, we just gotta find the funds to get it made.<br />
<br />
but i agree with most folks - find some folks that you'll enjoy hanging out with, and that will give you some pointers too.<br />
<br />
sorry to hear that two teams snubbed you - while it's not the goal of every team to help grow the sport, it sure helps.<br />

one suggestion - hang out at a popular bar or cafe reading your CXM in print, and I'm sure soon you'll have a bunch of folks who will want to join you.

You were snubbed by a bike club/team? Sounds like a road club. Or a Mountain Bike Club (hahaha)! I shouldn't say, since I'm not a member, but I think it's true that you need to be invited to join HUP UNITED. That would entail finding some of those guys, riding with them, getting to know them, and drinking some beer with them. We've got a few of them in our area and they're a good bunch. Well some of them anyway. The big joy of joining a club is buying new kits every year because they change…

If you can't find a club, who needs them? Start your own and check out one of uniform outfits. They can make you a one-off outfit and you can be AN ARMY OF ONE!
