In short we have had great success across many categories
and age groups. We have been on podiums coast to coast and
north to south. Our new jersey design has been very popular,
catching people's attention wherever it is seen. I will summarize
some of the outstanding achievements so far this season.
In the early spring we had great success at the Sea Otter
Classic in Monterey, CA. Two of our riders walked away with
three podium spots. Carla Carver was 2nd in Expert Women 40-49
MTB XC. Shey Lindner was 5th in Expert Men 30-39 MTB STXC
and 4th in Expert Men 30-34 MTB XC.
We have continued success on the National level with expert
podium and top 10 finishes in NORBA National Series events
and AMBC events with Shey Lindner and Eric Paysen.
Regionally we have done very well in the Root 66 New England
Race Series, the Intermountain Cup Series in Utah, the EFTA
New England Championship Series and the Mid-Atlantic Super
Series. In particular we have had multiple podium expert finishes
in the Root 66 New England Race Series with John Burns, Matt
DeMeis and Alan Moats. We have had multiple podium in all
ability levels in the EFTA New England Championship Series
with our racers hailing from Maine, Massachusetts, Vermont
and Rhode Island.
In our home base state of Maine we are once again leading
the overall team points championship in the Maine Mountainbike
Points series as well as several of the individual overall
titles.
Our team continues to make strides in endurance and 24 hour
racing. We had a solo top 5 finish in the 12 Hours of Lodi
Farms, on lap with Tinker Juarez, which qualified Shey Lindner
for the 24 Hour Solo World Championships. Team Bikeman.com
won the 4 man Sport Veteran class at the 24 Hours of Temecula.
We also took a top 5 solo finish at the 24 Hours of Big Bear
with Jason Mahokey.

well as rider bio's and sponsor links can always be found

We have had great success so far, but team members still have
some big goals for the rest of the season. More national events,
more regional events and of course winning the overall title
in Maine for a second year in a row. We have riders gunning
for titles in the National Championships, Master's World Championships
and more 24 hour events.
