MTB Stage Racing
in PA
July

Cancel any plans
you have for July 4th weekend for the next few years.
You should be going to the Oesterling Farm in Marysville,
PA for the VisitPA.com MTB stage race. This is the most
fun race I have ever been to (sorry Sam, I never thought
something would pass the Fat Tire). Why? It's all atmosphere.
This entire race takes place on the race director's
in-laws farm. You camp and hang out in the back yard...

Nine Red Jacket
- BlueSky Health racers were among a crew of about a
dozen that headed down to Rhinelander, Wisconsin for
the RASTA Rally. Leaving from The Bike Shop in a cold
drizzle, we got to Rhinelander (early) in time to see
the mercury begin its climb to about 75. The course
there is nearly entirely singletrack after the first
1.5 miles - a mix of roots, dips, and small rocks we
refer to as Kleinville. more

Health Launches Event Calendar
April

The Red Jacket
– BlueSky Health Cycling Team is a busy group of individuals.
Not only are they racing throughout the Upper Peninsula,
Lower Peninsula, Wisconsin, and Minnesota, but many
of them are active members of cycling clubs in the Keweenaw
Peninsula.
The team's forum
was developed to facilitate communication between the
riders and to be the goto place for cycling information
for the Keweenaw and beyond. However, the forum provides
no way of easily organizing all the events the Red Jackets
participate in. more
