Wolverine Racing has continued to prove itself as the top racing program for developing racers of all ages in all cycling disciplines.
 
On the road they have been consistent all season. Wolverienes hold the top spots in the Individual Michigan Challenge Points Series.
 
Pro 1/2: 1st. Cruise Bogedin, 9th. Luke Cavender, 10th. Ray Dybowski
Cat. 3: 2nd. Patrick Rodd
Cat. 4 2nd. Doug McKibbon
Pro 1/2/3 Women: 8th. Adrian Fear
Cat. 4 Women: 4th. Wendy St Clair
 
More importantly Wolverine Racing holds 1st place in the Pro 1/2 and Cat. 4 team rankings and after this weekend's races we should move up from 2nd to 1st in Cat. 3
 
The consistency continues with our MTB Team too! Every member of the team has finished in the top 10 in there last 10 races! The most impressive performances have come from Amanda Ryan and Tim Finkel. In her first year of racing Amanda has quickly become this years most dominant U23/Elite racer in Michigan. 2 wins, 4 podiums and and a handful of top 10's foreshadow a bright future. After setting a course record and winning last years 24hrs of Hot August Nights, Tim was extended an invitation to compete in this years 24hr Solo World Championships in Canmore, Alberta Canada. Racing with his trade team, Tim finished a very impressive 15th in only his second 24hr solo race.
 
Last but not least, the Wolverine Racing Track Team. In July Danielle Mullis and Nick Console headed west to Carson City, California to compete in the Junior National Track Championships. Nick left Carson City with a solid racing experience and Danielle left with four gold medals and the National Champion Jersey in the women's 12yr category. Most recently Luke Cavender won the The Detroit 6-Day along with Rock Racing's Iggy Silva and yesterday long time Wolverine and 1954 US Olympian Tom O'Rourke won the National Champions Jersey at the US Masters Track National Championships in the 75+ 500mTT. Along with winning the jersey, Tom also set a National and WORLD Records in the process.

Here's a shout out to one of the collegiate teams that VETTA sponsors.  I want to let everyone know about some of the accomplishments that the MIT Collegiate Cycling Team has had over the past year, both on and off the bike.  Some of the highlights from this season were:
 
1.  MIT taking 1st in the DII (our division) and DI standings for the Eastern Collegiate Cycling Conference
 
2. The team took 2nd in the team omnium at Collegiate Road Nationals on its way to ranking 1st in the Overall DII National Team Classification

3. Graduate student Katie Lovejoy helped develop Pedro's new Ice Wax 2.0

4. MIT successfully ran the "X-Pot 3D" collegiate road racing weekend for the first time this year; the road race was ranked by collegiate riders as the "Most Soul Crushing Race" of the season
 
Let's all give them a round of applause for their amazing achievements in 2009.  Let's hope they continue their success in the upcoming season.


Bicycle Retailer, the industry magazine, also had the following review on our new PathFinder cycling computer.  I think the combination of a cycling computer with an integrated headlight is a pretty unique concept.  This is a much cheaper alternative than purchasing a cycling computer and a light separately.  Check it out on www.vetta.com!


What an awesome month!  Road Magazine tested and reviewed on our cycling computers, the V100HR WL2X and the PathFinder, in its August 2009 issue.  The V100HR WL2X is our triple wireless cycling computer made specificially for training purposes.  The PathFinder is our new commuter computer that has an integrated headlight for night riding.   Check these products out on www.vetta.com!

Stay tuned to see our new 2010 products!
