Cyclocross: I'm looking for a few more clients here. Please let me know if you or somebody you know is looking for a CX coach. Otherwise, our practice sessions started this past week. Looking forward to adding a newbie or two next week. Fun stuff. Glad to be back doing the CX thing.

MTB/WORS Overall Standings as follows:
Citizen = 1 client that is 5th in age group, first year racing MTB, and progressing nicely
Comp = 4 clients all slotting in at 3rd place in their respective age groups
Elite = 1 client that is 1st in age group, and top 5 overall

Otherwise, Chicago Mike is ramping up his workload in preparation for a successful Cyclocross season. He's had a couple more podium finishes on the MTB and CX bikes during August.

Triathlon: looking to grow here in 2011 by adding tri specific training plans (balance run/swim/bike). Potentially going through the USAT certification process. Please stay tuned.

Road: most of the guys are currently on a break and/or preparing for Cyclocross.

Bike Fitting:  business continues to be strong. After working with women on bike fits for the last few years, I have learned the importance of having a properly shaped/padded saddle that is positioned correctly. My female clients & friends that use Terry saddles are the ones that have the most positive comments about their cycling comfort. Therefore, becoming a dealer for Terry Saddles is a great advancement for Cycling Form & Fitness. I have the majority of their options in stock and ready to be fitted. Terry/CFF offers a 30-day comfort guarantee relative to the saddle.

Personal Results: Three races completed during August. Feeling good about the progressively better results going into the CX season:
1) WCA State 40k TT = 4th in age group out of 12, 15th overall out of 110, averaged 26.9 MPH (near perfect conditions)
2) ABR State 40k TT = 2nd in age group out of 14, 13th overall out of 130, averaged 26.8 MPH (more wind & heat)
3) WORS @ Reforestation = 2nd in age out of 15, 19th overall out of 50
