HUP 2008 Team Launch Event

2008 Hup United Team Camp Details...

UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE…..

Chris Milliman, who is an amazing professional photographer, friend, and Hup Teammate, has volunteered to take our team photos! As many of you know, his photography as well as his writing has been featured in well known magazines and websites, such as Velonews and Cyclingnews, as well as in many ads we see everyday. I am very, very, very, excited that he will be taking our team photos. Just take a look at his website as well as his blog, and you will understand…

Couldn't you find a picture of a HUP rider to accent this post?
I didn't get my evite, apparently I am being snubbed by HUP yet again...OK I can take the hint :(

Also, no scary movies. I can't sleep after scary movies, and when I can't sleep I tend to crash my bike. We don't need that.
