Cox Criterium:
Look at how adorable Murat Akyazi's daughter is. He didn't tell me her name in his e-mail, so I will add it later. According to Daddy, she's crazy about bikes and racing. What says "I love you" better than putting on one of daddy's big uniforms and booties and posing for a picture? I'm in love with this little one.
It's week TWO of the 2008 road season.. and Millwork One Racing attended the same two events with the same four participants. One small difference: Murat turned his attention from Bethel to Ninigret and accompanied Brendan in a very high powered field on a notoriously windy day on the airstrip. Gusts of 40 or so miles per hour made it a requirement to get out of the saddle in order to break 15 miles per hour.. Brendan and Murat have both covered their respective experiences on Sunday. Michael and Scotty have also given us some reporting which will fill in the blanks.. Long story short, Millwork One Racing scored a couple of top 10 finishes at Ninigret this weekend. Next on the M1 radar: Wells Avenue Criterium in Newton Mass. M1 Racing will put all it's eggs in one basket this Sunday.. Stay tuned for reporting from Week 3!
The M1Racing Team roster already includes seven riders.. and they will be introduced to our readers and to our sponsors shortly. For now, allow me to sing the praises of the M1 Racing sponsorship program. It's different from other 'equipment based' teams where too much kit space is traded for a marginal discount on expensive equipment. Not at Millwork One Racing.. We want to cover the repetitive nuisance costs of racing for our athletes, such as entry fees and gasoline, instead of the very isolated one-time equipment costs such as frames and wheels. To wit, if you join us at M1 Racing::
See below. Join us on Saturday. There's no obligation. You're the captain.

This is what a skinsuit would look like when arm and leg warmers are used. The actual jersey and bib short combo would be slightly different, mostly at the back pockets where there would be some shifting of logos and at the back panel of the bib shorts, which is shaped different from the skinsuit shown here. The long sleeve jerseys and the jackets which are being ordered would be very close to the top half of the kit you see here. It's hard to see but the "M1" logo is patterned into the fabric.
