Weekend

No racing for the team this weekend, but beginning July 23rd w/ Mt. Nebo the team will be racing every weekend through the end of August. Lots of opportunities to add to our great '05 results.

Josh and I are riding in the Gettysburg MS 150 tomorrow and Sunday. It'll be great to get in some summer endurance training while raising money for a great cause - the National Multiple Sclerosis Society. We plan to ride a good 175 miles between Saturday and Sunday. Thanks to the generous contributions of family and friends (and Faulkner Honda Racing) I've been able to raise more than $600 for this year's ride - next year I'll definitely work to eclipse the $1000 mark!

You gonna come through...?

Carney at the helm in the Pro-1-2-3 race on Saturday. He was under the impression that guys would actually pull through in those races...

Fantasy Tour, Stage 11 Results

Carney's team, PGWP, took the stage by getting both Vino and Botero in the break. To celebrate the win, he's buying beers for everyone at ABC tonight. If you see him there, be sure to take him up on it. Anyhow, most teams had at least 3 riders in the main group of contenders. No major changes at the top of the GC. Voigt was eliminated today.

Letter from the Director:

"As I wrap up the race with sending results and answering the flood of complaints via e-mail, I can't help but feel a calmness come over me as we managed to put another very successful race into the history books. I have said this from our first year in 2001, I could not have done this race with out the help from all of you! I mean this from the bottom of my heart. Without the help of all of you ordering toilets and numbers weeks before the race, to camping out at my house for the days leading up to the event to get stuff together, to the family members staying up late making lunches or getting up early the day of the race just to "Help out" with a few things, to racing our race and then helping plug a few holes even though your on another team, to all of you taking your Sunday to help me get equipment back or put away, I could not get this race done without all of you.

Thanks again,

Mike"
