Reminds me of Somerville in `02 or so…I’ve finished my race and am camping out on a lawn. Vicki Huffman is there with her kid and,as far as I can tell, basically co-ops a few spectators to watch her kid for a bit while she goes out to do her race. What ever happened to her?

what does riding for Empire or CHAMPSYS get? The most I ever got at the cat1-2 level was a bike, tires and kit, some entry fees/travel reimbursed ($4000), “50% in team split/50% keep yourself” prize split.
Whats the going rate Ray Alba and Mike Sherry?
Mengoni?

Fact checker: That’s about the most I’ve ever heard anyone getting in a cat 1-2 team. In a team of 6 guys (which is pretty small) that represents an overall team budget of over $30-40k. Most cat 1-2 teams are managing with a lot less cash than that.

3:57 — You’ll find 3 types of cat 1-2s: 1) Trustafundians supported by mommy and daddy. 2) Moochers who couch surf and take advantage of whomever they can to squeak by week-to-week. 3) Normal dudes with jobs and families who fit bike racing in with the rest of life’s commitments. Most of us are #3.
Go to usacycling.org or google “national collegiate cycling association” for info on collegiate programs, of which there are many.
