Dan McGehee has greased his chain and is ready to go for his UMCA 100 Mile Track Time Trial record attempt for May 24th at the ADT Velodrome in Los Angeles. Dan has spent considerable time and effort training and preparing for this and hopes to bring attention to the RideClean mission for Clean Sport.

This effort is supported by all our sponsors and specifically by Modern Industries, a Phoenix based company. Thank you to everyone that helped prepare for this including Dan's Family. Without support from them and others these events simply would not happen.

Stay tuned for the recap coming next week.

The organizers of "America's Hardest Stage Race" have extended an invitation to the RideClean Team.

The highly competitive entry process saw over 30 teams apply for the 17 available slots, and the RideClean Team will bring a team built for the rigors of the course.

From the Tour of Utah website:

"Set for August 13th – August 17th, 2008, the Larry H. Miller Tour of Utah will be part of the prestigious 2008 USA Cycling National Racing Calendar. The National Racing Calendar acts as a showcase for the highest level of domestic events in the United States and provides season-long points series to determine the top riders and teams in the nation. National cycling teams will compete for a $75,000 purse, including a new car."

Sports Illustrated seems to have tapped into a common thread about performance enhancing drugs (PED's) and the urge that drives something else that has seen an abundant growth lately; the recent growth rates of plastic surgery procedures undertaken and testosterone prescriptions written.
