December 2013 update

Dear cycling enthusiasts,
Yes, we have been quiet for a while now. Here is the latest update:

For various reasons our core group has somewhat fallen apart. Ever since Juan moved to Atlanta, things were not the same. Uli decided to ride in Asia for a while. We formed a lose partnership with our friend of Human Zoom. Bill pursued various other hobbies. Some of us started riding with other teams in the area. SAP employees in CA came out with a new corporate cycling kit. Both, Frank and Uli left SAP. ...

Back in 2008 we started around SAP as many of us worked there and this was what brought us together in the first place. But we never went exclusive; we always welcomed a mix of people who just enjoyed riding in Chester County and in Delaware County.

So it's time to rethink the concept.
Can we get critical mass?
Go back to the old schedule?
Change the name?
Discontinue the team?
...

We are open to your ideas - Please use the comments feature to let us know what you think!

2012 City To Shore Recap

The 2012 MS150 City To Shore is history.

Congratulations to all of the Team SAP riders and thanks for making the 2012 event a complete success!
When was the last time your friends, colleagues and neighbors rode 75 miles on a bicycle? No matter when you got into Ocean City, you can be proud of what you have accomplished!

And special thanks to our Team Captain Frank Kochendoerfer for his passion and leadership in organizing the Team SAP contingent at the 2012 City To Shore.
