Post a Comment
The series standings have been updated from the Springer Omnium!
Things have shaken up quite a bit! Our series leaders are as follows:
Cat 1/2: Mary Mayhew, Bike Zoo (336 points)
Cat 3: Lisa Starmer, NashvilleCyclist.com (348 points)
Cat 4: Parri Gilbride, Team OS (84 points)
Can the series leaders continue to hold onto their leads? With French Broad, Oak Ridge, and the Dick Lane Velodrome Pro Race Series (double points*) still left in this year's series, it's anyone's game!
*DON'T FORGET!
The SEW season finale will be held at the Dick Lane Velodrome for double points.

Where's My Prime?
Thanks to everyone who came out and supported the first race of the SEW series last weekend, Rock Hill! We were super happy to see such a good turn out. However, we had a little snafu with the distribution of some of the SEW prizes and primes, so if you think you won a prime or prize and didn't get it, please contact me at leigh@vanderkitten.com and I'll mail it to you ASAP! We've since fixed our glitch and sincerely apologize for any inconvenience. Thanks for being patient with us and we'll see you at Sunny King!
