Nancy Morganstern Memorial Race; New and Improved Jerseys; Israeli Independence Bike Day
Thursday, May 8th, 2008An Oy Velo cult member pointed out that there is a sanctioned memorial race in honor of Nancy Morganstern at Bear Mt, NY. Nancy was a racing cyclist who died on 9/11. For more about Nancy, click here:

In happier news, Oy Velo has given into peer pressure and has minimized the size of the adorable Oy Velo mascot. The new jersey is available on the site now.
Finally, tomorrow is Israeli Independence Day! You’ll note it coincides with Bike Month. Coincidence? I think not. Happy Israeli Independence Bike Day.
Jerseys and Saul Raisin
Wednesday, May 7th, 2008The jersey design is up! Buy yours today to reserve your size. They are $65 each plus $5 shipping and handling if you live outside Tampa, Florida.
More importantly, Oy Velo just realized that Saul Raisin of Credit Agricole is Jewish. I’m stalking him starting now.
Yehuda Gershony
Monday, May 5th, 2008The owner of the professional team Kelly Benefit Strategies (who is Jewish), advised me of Yehuda Gershony, an Israeli citizen who raced professionally for Gianni Motta and Skil-Reydel in 1984. He rode with Sean Kelly and Jonathan Boyer on the Skil-Reydel team. If anyone has any additional information about this rider, I’d love to include him on Oy Velo. So far, Oy Velo has not been successful contacting riders residing outside of the North American continent, but I’ll give it a shot.
Jerseys
Apparently, I lied about the jersey design being ready to post today. The Louis Garneau art department is making a few edits to the design, which should be ready to view tomorrow.
Hazon NYC 2008
Sunday, May 4th, 2008A few cult members have advised Oy Velo of the Hazon organization, which organizes rides in New York City and Israel each year to raise money for charity. The NYC ride is August 29, 2008 through September 1, 2008. The ride looks like it’s fun, and for a great cause. Please checkout the details and contact Oy Velo if you are interested in putting together a team.

Oy Velo’s latest interview is with Peter Zheutlin, author of “Around The World On Two Wheels.” The book tells the story of a Jewish housewife and mother who became the first woman to ride a bicycle around the world. The book, and the interview, are must reads.
Last but not least, he jersey will be posted next week (I’m serious this time).
