Greetings -

We are half way through the 2009 season and the Richard Sachs Cyclocross Team is having doing very well
every weekend atmo. Here in the northeast, we traveled to New Gloucester, Maine for the Downeast Cyclocross
back to back UCI C2 events. As we are getting used to seeing, the team made the podium - again. Dan Timmeman
rode superbly both days and won twice. Josh Dillon had a great series of races too, and was third and fifth on the
two days. It might have been the worst two days of race conditions seen in New England in recent years. Dan is
back in the Verge Series points leader's jersey and Josh is now in third place as a result of two high finishes. Out
at the USGP in Louisville, Kentucky, Amy Dombroski had a breakout weekend placing third on Saturday and then
second on Sunday. Awesome results all around.

Before I turn this text into a link-a-thon, I want to remind all who read here that we - the RS 'Cross Team - are indebted
to all who sponsor, support, underwrite, cheer for, and follow us all season long. The good news is that several entities
have already signed on for 2010. Many thanks to all. Here's my love list:

RGM Watch Company
Radix Group
Rex Chiu
Rajanaka Yoga
House Industries
The Fat Men (no, that's NOT a misprint atmo)
Oval Concepts (stems, handlebars, and seatposts)
Cane Creek (brakes and headsets)
Cole Products (wheels)
Wippermann (chains)
Rudy Project (eyewear and helmets)
Crank Brothers (pedal systems)
Bailey Works (luggage)

Svelte Cycles (my man)
Clement (tires)
