Don’t they love you? Didn’t they love your wheels?” The answer to all those questions is yes. We think Team Exergy is awesome. The whole program, riders and management included, are some of the most talented and most professional in the cycling world, and http://williamscycling.blogspot.com/2012/01/understanding-professional-sponsorship.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Williams Cycling)tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1764803750152628378.post-3042537112389977060Wed, 30 Nov 2011 19:21:00 +00002011-11-30T15:24:15.371-08:00Here at Williams cycling we've had the blinders on. We've been so focused on road racing, because of our great success at the professional level with Team Exergy and because of our own backgrounds in the sport, that we've neglected an entire community of talented and passionate cyclists: triathletes.  Triathlon is an impressive sport for a number of reasons not least of which is its incredible http://williamscycling.blogspot.com/2011/11/have-you-heard-of-little-thing-called.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Williams Cycling)tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1764803750152628378.post-649091993781517637Tue, 25 Oct 2011 21:46:00 +00002011-10-25T14:46:44.063-07:00It's fun to have a cycling company. Everyone who works here at Williams loves to ride, and if we're not in the office making the magic happen we're out riding, racing or slashing up trails. It's cool that our passion is our work, and it's fun to have sweet gear and the time to ride it. But the best part of working at a cycling company is that we make products that people ride on, race on, and winhttp://williamscycling.blogspot.com/2011/10/come-on-be-social.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Williams Cycling)tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1764803750152628378.post-6693949034611092944Thu, 20 Oct 2011 22:28:00 +00002011-10-20T15:28:42.179-07:00Our product manager, Ryan, spent the last year racing on the road professionally in Europe.

Okay, technically the season kicked off two weeks ago at CrossVegas, and lots of people around the country and the world have been ripping the CX for quite some time already. But we thought it would be unfair to start the new 'cross season before we'd officially crowned Rand Miller the king of the crits.
