A Tout le Monde

Cycling news gave us a nice spot down below the news about the World Champion.

It's a truncated version, but we are very thankful for the exposure and it was very kind of them to throw us a bone in the location they did. Here is the complete version for the Blog World.


East Bay Cyclists to become InfoVista Cycling Team

East Bay Cyclists (currently known as EMC²/Vellum Cycles), a Northern California bicycle racing club in it’s 5th year is proud to announce a new title sponsor for the 2008 cycling season. InfoVista has signed on as the club’s primary sponsor taking top bill on the club’s jersey and promotional material. InfoVista first supported East Bay Cyclists in 2007 as a second tier sponsor. The team for 2008 will be known as InfoVista Cycling Team.


InfoVista is the global leader in Service Centric Performance Management and Reporting. 80% of the world's largest service providers as ranked by Fortune®, as well as leading Global 2000 enterprises, rely on InfoVista to enhance the business value of their technology assets.

As InfoVista Cycling Team the club will continue to organize, develop, and seek out talent for the Road, Mountain, Cyclocross, XTERRA, and Triathlon bike community. While maintaining a balance of athleticism, technical expertise and the basic love for cycling, we endeavor to help each team member seek a higher level of their sport. The team provides shared knowledge, training, and support, enabling each member to achieve their goals. The true basis of this organization is to enhance the cycling enthusiast lifestyle, help the environment, the community, and promote healthy lifestyles while achieving high levels of competition and excellence.

By partnering with corporate sponsors like InfoVista, the club, made up of business professionals, engineers, and even medical professionals seek to promote business development within the diverse and high-tech influenced cycling community in Northern California.

Building on the success of the 2007 season the now InfoVista Cycling Team will work to send Juniors, Women, and Masters Men to National and International competitions, stage races, Xterra Worlds, and USA Cycling development programs.

For their generous support the team would also like to thank;

On personal note, Infovista is a French company, I think it's very cool that a company from such a cycling enthusiastic country is willing to support some grass roots (even weeds) in Northern California.

That's a nice write up. Nothing in there proclaiming a commitment to complete and total domination of anyone wearing a Pegasaurus kit. I'm sure it's in your contract and bylaws and something you didn't want to air publicly. Just another example of why your team is a class act. If and when my team unceremoniously dumps me, I will come knocking with my hat in hand.

Thanks for the kind words and compliment, that reputation couldn't have been done with out the excellent people on the team. Lots of contribution to the organization from all levels of riders.

Nope, nothing like that in the Bylaws.
We expect people to have fun, be respectful, and work the club's race.

And put up with me...
