Kyle Rupay is back in 2011!!

Here is a picture of Kyle rippin it up at the F.C.V last weekend. He has a new bike, fast legs and a great attitude!! That's why he will be back racing for us in 2011!! We are very proud of Kyle and everything he brings to our team. We really enjoy supporting and developing young riders and when they are as nice as Kyle is just makes everything we do so worth while. Thanks for the great season Kyle and we look forward to seeing your progress over the years to come.

Dave Viney - World Champion!

Dave won the world senior games for his age(60-64) in St George Utah last week.
Not only did he ride away from everyone on day 4 on the big climb half way through the race and stay away from a pack of 10 chasing for the win, in doing so he also set the course record for all the division 1 groups!! Congrats Dave!! Another huge win to be proud of!

Jamie Smith WINS the Tour De Terra Cotta

This could be one of the best cycling pics I've seen! Jamie just rode away from the breakaway group to solo in for the win showing dominate form. Jamie has been rock solid for our squad this year and we all knew he was on the verge of something big. Look for many more big results from this guy because he is only getting better. Bici had a lot of great results at Terra Cotta.
Krista won, Merrill won, Kyle was 3rd and big Colin was 3rd overall!!

LaBicicletta is killin it this year!

2010 has been a break out year for our cycling team. For many years this has been a small squad with a few seasoned veterans to lead the way. This year we took things to a whole new level and brought on some young talent to compliment the big guns we already had under contract and wow have things gone great!! I'm very pleased to say the Ontario Cup is back where is belongs at LaBicicletta. Merrill Collins and Ed Veal both won the Woman's and Men's titles in 2010 and we couldn't be happier about it.

There is way more to report and photos to follow! We need to brag about Darko coming second at Bike the Bruce and Jamie, Merrill and Krista all winning at Terra Cotta. Stay tuned....

Cam Jette - Wicked pics!

O-Cup TT - Photos

Peterborough TT this Saturday!!

Here is a pic from last years elite mens TT. Bici all over the podium! I think this year might even be more dominant! Look for one of our boys on the top step in 2010!

So much to re-cap!

It has been a crazy month and I apologize for this blog going dead over that period of time. Our team has been ripping it up and with all the training, racing and getting big results this blog has taken a back seat. I will do my best to get back on track, we have lots to report. Lets start with this past Thursdays CHIN Picnic O-Cup....Ed Veal comes 2nd in the elite mens crit! Can you pick out Ed's legs on the podium?

More re-caps on there way soon....

Busy...

Been run off my feet the last few weeks! Things are good but haven't found the time to keep the blog as active as I would like. I will work on getting an update about the team and club ASAP.

This guy knows the top step of the podium like the back of his hand!!

LaBicicletta goes 4 for 4 at the Midweek crit!
