Way to go Cincy Express !!!!! The Yellow Menace was out in force at Mattoon Man taking first overall female and second overall male. We have much to be proud of in our FIRST YEAR of pursuing the MERCRS championship. A HUGE amount of thanks to all of the members who went and raced on the team's behalf. Many thanks also to those who helped coordinate the effort. These things don't happen on their own-- we appreciate those who helped get it all put together. Additionally, we will be paying for information on exactly what happenend out there between Glowing Joe and Smiling Eddy. All either one of them will say is, "What happens in Effingham, stays in Effingham."
Were you competing at Mattoon Man this weekend? Maybe East Fork? Were you wondering who all those awesome athletes were from Ohio? Well, welcome to CincyExpress-- Southwest Ohio/Miami Valley's coolest multi-sport team-- occasionally and affectionately referred to at times as the YELLOW MENACE!!!

It doesn't cost you a thing and you can look around to see who we are and where we're going to be training next.

The summer is heating up, and so are the Tuesday night time trial times! If you are looking for a great series- still run locally by Queen City Wheels - make the short trip to Cleves for a great Tuesday night ride. This rolling 10.2 mile course may be just what your training needs to break up the weekday grind. Best part is you only $15 for the ENTIRE season to get your time trial fix! You can NOT beat that. A reminder the races will continue through the end of summer. Check out QCW.org and navigate to Cleves time trial for more information.
