It's official

SRAM Factory was registered with USA Cycling as a club team for 2011. Our club ID is 13398. This club is open to all SRAM employee-athletes. You are sure to see SRAM Factory team members competing in other cycling disciplines over the coming year, but this blog is devoted to our cyclocross exploits. That may include some pre-season racing in other cycling disciplines.

Although newly registered with USA Cycling, the SRAM Factory team has existed since 2005. It was started at SRAM's Schweinfurt, Germany location and focussed almost exclusively on MTB racing. Here's a shot of SRAM's winning team at the 2005 'Schaflos im Sattel' (sleepless in the saddle) dusk to dawn race:

And another after winning the 2007 Kuelsheim 12 hour race:

We did a little cyclocross racing as well. This is the Struhlendorf Deutschland Cup race from 2006:

 We're looking forward to a great 2011.
