Posties in action at National Criterium

Support the USCF. They put together another great race at Downers Grove, IL (western suburb of Chicago) this weekend. It was a two day event with many classifications of racing - including a kid's big wheel race on Sunday. The womens and mens races both had former and current National Champions in them, along with riders from other countries. Including the Canadien Men's National Champion, whom just flew in from Greece! The hype of the event was of course the fact that some Posties were there participating. Tony Cruz, Robbie Ventura, and Floyd Landis were all in attendance. Unfortunately, this may be the last race where Floyd wears a US Postal jersey. According to a rumor on this thread over at bikeforums.net, Floyd may be going to join Tyler at Phonak next season. Floyd was amazing in this year's Tour. And next year with Tyler should be an interesting combo to watch.

Great weather, great racing, great "super fans," great event. If you were there and came by the LAF booth, it was great meeting everyone. We'll be there again next year for sure!
