Well, that was quick. It took only a few hours to fill up our last two spots. More info coming soon on the new, global look to TVC. Now to figure out how to fit all the flags into the logo…
I guess it was just too good to last. Our 9-man Haute Route team has taken a hit and we have lost two riders (Aaron and Wes, if you are keeping track). Although we’ll miss them, even if we’ve never met them, it’s time to move on. We now have 7 guys on the team and we need 9 to complete the picture.
I’m not saying we’ll take anybody, but we took me, so we should be OK with nearly anybody. A girl or two would be nice, but I’m just speaking for myself. There are still a few places left on this year’s Haute Route Alps, I hear, so anyone out there who has been sitting on the fence for the past 3 or 4 months, here is your big chance! We’d also definitely consider a rider who has already registered as an individual (not on a team already).
With your new membership to Team Vicious Cycle comes not only the coolest team name in this year’s event, but some really awesome kit (coming soon) and the knowledge that you’ll be riding for something bigger than yourself.
OK, that last part isn’t true. Anyway, if you have an interest in our little team, let me know.
The Vicious Cycle 
is there a team classification to be spoiled?
Definitely. Spoil away!
ok. I prefer not to make people mad about me at the first occasion we meet ;o). Guess I´ll be a better teammate at roubaix
Come on Carsten, you’d be the star on this team.
What do you think this extravaganza will cost, not including getting there of course.
The race plus race route accommodations depending of which accommodation package you select is between 1820 to 2180 euros. Where can you find this much pain for such a nominal fee.
Great value for pain I agree! The airfare from Australia on top of it is the kind of pain I don’t like.
I’m putting feelers out via fb etc in case I can find a generous benefactor willing to put up the 5k I would need.
We just had a Dutch guy who lives in Australia join the team….Come on guys and gals, one spot left for the ride of your life.
James, start saving now and you’ll be ready for 2014!
Sounds like a plan Gerry. I’ll have a couple of solid years in my legs by then as well.
C’mon – take our spots. You’ll get a nice mixture of Canadian, southern US, and even an Ireland accent, plus you’ll get to draft off McDiesel (if you can keep up).
Best of luck to you guys. As tough as it was to make, it was the right decision. My injury recovery has been slower than expected. The last thing I want is a DNF. I hope you guys have a great time and decide to do it again in 2014.
Get well Aaron. I’m sure this isn’t going to be a one-time thing. BTW – we just had a friend of Mark’s join. He’s from Holland and currently lives in Austrailia. We have the United Nations represented.
Looking forward to finding, and maybe even holding, McDiesel’s wheel. Get healed soon.

I have an entry for the HR but no team, 55 year old, live Edinburgh. Will up your team age average (!) but drop me your contact details and I can introduce myself. Thanks
Welcome to the team, Julian! The higher average age will only make our results that more impressive!

I’m checking my diary……oh bother.
Flute lesson? We understand, TP. There’s always Haute Route Pyreness 2014…
Uncle Sam?? I expected a RCMP and “We always get our man!”
I couldn’t find a Mountie with a helmet. It’s the only reason…
