Prius Cycling Team

randreed · 05-22-2007, 06:33 PM

As I mentioned before, there seems to be a lot of cycling interest in this area. This post is to find out if we really have enough people interested to form a PRIUS CYCLING TEAM.

If you are interested - REALLY interested - then please post here.

There is a fund-raising event for MS this fall, that includes an overnight Hotel stay. Non-riders could meet rider in the Hotel parking lot OR at the bar in the evening!

Again - If you are interested - REALLY interested - then please post here.

Thanks,
Rand

Hey Rand!
Sorry but I am just a casual biker.... plus my allergies are just too bad to even think about riding sometimes.
Will be happy to join in if there is a fun ride or show up and cheer on the serious riders!

Not a bad idea, but I'd be pretty tired by the time I got to New Jersey. California's much closer, if there were any interest there, but even that took a couple of weeks (OK, three) the last time...

No problem just cheering us on - a large showing of Prius people at ANY of these events will have a positive impact.

As for a CA Cycling team - why not a US-wide Cycling team? We could save big $$$ on a common Jersey design and do multiple events all over the country.

I would think TOYOTA would want to sponsor a team!!!

I'm in, currently raining like a hammster. Work and travel may interfere with some events or facilitate others.

ummm, that's training - it's actually sunny here.

I definitely would like to be in. If we can get people from all around the Tri-state area we really could find some interesting runs to do all over the area. There are some great rides out here in Lancaster County for anyone who would like to make the trip.
I just started seriously biking last year and have been hooked ever since.

OK - Just created the Priuschat Cycling Team

Please check it out - hope you can join us (Virtual riders are welcome too!)

Also - we are ordering custom "Priuschat" cycling jerseys (design is still a work in progress) - would you be interested in buying one?

randreed · 07-01-2007, 08:27 AM

OK - we have 3 riders so far for an event in Northern NJ in September (see link below).

We've already had one training ride and need to have another, so I'll post that soon under another thread.

We would like to hear from riders in other areas:

Are you interested in a bulk Priuschat Cycling Jersey Purchase?
Are you interested in participating in Priuschat Cycling Events in your area?
Would you like to be a Priuschat Cycling Team Captain?
