CBR team directory is live

Danielson to Slipstream! The Clarkes to Toyota-United! Rasmussen to ... anyone?

Who cares?

What's really important is whom you will be riding for next year.

It's never too early to be thinking about 2008. Whether you'll be racing for the first time or you're finally trading in that Performance jersey for a team kit, now is the time to start inquiring about teams and finding the group that's a good fit for you. If you wait until May or June, it can be too late: Your team's uniform orders have likely come and gone, and your new teammates have already spent all winter and spring bonding with one another and may be too busy racing to get to know you properly.

Over the next few weeks I'll have more to say about the benefits (and costs) of joining a team and how to make the most of it. In the meantime, I've finally uploaded a directory of local racing teams. I still have a few listings I need to add, but if you don't see your team or spot any errors, please e-mail me the details.

Several team representatives have told me they're unsure of how to answer whether they have a women's or juniors program. I'm not quite sure myself. It's somewhat self-defining. Suffice to say, if you have only one or two women or juniors, you do not have a "program." Basically I'm looking to highlight teams that women and juniors can join and expect to find like-minded mentors and friends.
