Beginning September 1, 2009, Charm City Cycling is proud to announce a new partnership with Athletes Serving Athletes for the 2009-2010 cycling season. Athletes Serving Athletes is a not for profit corporation that provides opportunities for challenged athletes to pursue an active lifestyle by experiencing the thrill of athletic competition otherwise inaccessible to them. This change in title sponsor will also result in a new team name. Effective September 1, C3-Sollay.com will now be known as C3-Athletes Serving Athletes.

CXhairs.com interviews team director extraordinaire Kris Auer
"For the final installment of our coaches interview series, we get the opportunity to pick the brain of Athlete Development Group and Charm City Cycling boss Kris Auer. Along with coaching several top East Coast cyclocrossers, Kris is also an accomplished racer. His one request to me in doing this interview was “make me sound cool.”
For anyone looking to do the MAC UCI > Cross Vegas double there's a direct flight from BWI to LVS (Southwest 3656) departing at 6:10pm and arriving at 8:30pm.
