Objectives and Goals
BCC members strive to improve the sport through friendly competition, promotion of responsible cycling, and development of the area's cycling community. We compete in cyclocross, mountain biking, road cycling, and multi-sport events locally and regionally. Additionally, we actively participate in community-based bicycle advocacy programs and are planning bicycle safety clinics for children and new riders. Perhaps our biggest presence is our visibility on local roads and trails, where we lead group rides for a range of abilities and promote responsible conduct and goodwill between members of Durham's diverse and growing cycling community.
Mission Statement
Bull City Cycling (BCC) is a Durham-based cycling team dedicated to promoting the awareness of all forms of cycling in North Carolina's Research Triangle. BCC showcases cycling as an integral part of a healthy and environmentally-conscious way of life through transportation alternatives, fitness, and sportsmanship. BCC participates in community-based cycling activities ranging from advocacy to competition, and is officially recognized by USA Cycling.

You know, there was a time when I used to really like Vino. That time may well be passed. *sigh*
I'll add to that collective sigh.............
This makes me think of my high school cross country days, when we would have a gigantic end of the season banquet and awards dinner. Wouldn't it be so entertaining to see Astana have one of these at the end of this season. I'm pretty sure it would end up in a food fight filled paparazzi-fest or glorious photos.
Astana truly has jumped the shark.....errr.....I mean jumped the snake.
Check out the modest comeback kit here:

Always so humble, that Vino.
There's an argument out there that the racing was more exciting when everyone was doping. They could tear themselves apart on the course, but thanks to a little chemical relief, were almost totally restored the next day. Without doping, those efforts would be too risky, as they'd leave the riders depleted for several days.
Summary:
Vino = doper
Cadel = clean
I'll agree that this year's Tour was a little dull (or was that just me?), and if it was truly clean then I suppose that would support the clean=boring argument. (Personally, I think that when the most important thing becomes tracking the internal dynamics [read: hissy fits] of one team, then the racing must be a little boring.) Still, I'm hoping that had more to do with the course profile and chance than anything else. Maybe next year...
