New Banner

Thanks to Katy for the new banner image, and the favicon, and the logo, which will be made into stickers in the near future. If they had a State Championship at design, you'd win that too!

Team Pegasus

The annual Team Pegasus party is in Milwaukee today, so I'm missing it. The team is basically a bunch of friends from Chicago and Milwaukee that likes to ride bikes. We race track, road, cross, mountain bike. If it has two wheels and pedals, we will race it. And, we'll look good doing it. Which is the most important thing, right? Here's a few photos of the team in action. I miss you guys.

Obviously, this is only the important members of the team. Not pictured: hangers-on and losers. Photo by Kat.
