Meeting with FOCUS and new wheels from Mavic

 Last week the 35 plus team got everyone together to review last year, talk about next year and do a little team bonding.  The guys are very excited about 2011 and a lot of that energy comes from new rider Dan Schmatz.  Dan is going to change thy dynamic of the team and how we are able to race.  As part of the meeting we also met with Brian Dallas from FOCUS.  Brian was incredibly interesting and taught us a lot about our FOCUS frames.  The more we learned the more we were impressed and developed a greater understanding of all that goes into these frames.  It is clear FOCUS is an up and coming brand in the US and we are very lucky to be a part of it at this early stage.  Thanks FOCUS and Brian.

 Mavic has been a long term supporter of the team and their products are widely used by all of our riders.  We have been happy on all of their wheels for a while and in 2010 most of the guys were racing the SLR.  2010 was also the first year we started to use their shoes are were impressed.  For 2011 one of our riders stepped up and ordered Mavic's top of the line wheel set, the Cosmic Carbone Ultimate.  These pictures do not even do these wheels justice, as they are some of the most beautiful, well built, and fastest wheels in the world.  They were good enough to win two of the 3three grand tours in 2010, so it is an honor to have a set in the mix1 Masters Team arsenal for 2011.
