This past Sunday the "A-Team" assembled in Philadelphia, PA for the Liberty Classic, the final race in the Triple Crowne Series. With top three podium finishes by both Rebecca Larson and Catherine Powers in the preceeding two races the team was looking forward to a great day in Philly. In the end, due to a crash at 1km to go our finishing horse power would be greatly reduced with Sarah, Shannon and Felicia all being claimed by the crash. Catherine having done her job coming into the final 1km would only leave us with Rebecca as a final leadout person and that wouldn't be enough in this super strong field to get the result the team was looking for. Katharine Carroll would finish a respectable 13th in a world class field with Rebeccca hanging on for 26th. I would like to send out a huge thank-you to Kim Dubeck and her parent's Bob and Mare Perna for so graciously hosting the team during the Triple Crowne races. Thank-you to Mike and Wendi Ross who hosted a team dinner for both the Aaron's and the Jittery Joe's Men's Team prior to the Liberty Classic. Thanks to all the friends and family members who came out to cheer on the team and lend a helping hand. Without your love and support none of the this would be possible...thank-you all so much!
Prior to race day the team joined forces with SRAM at Keswick's Cycles in Cherry Hill, NJ to sign posters and talk to cycling enthusiasts.

A huge thanks go out to team doctor, Sheryl Oleski and husband Micheal whom provided wonderful support to the team before, during, and after the races in Lancaster, Reading and Philly.
Little "Miss Muffet"?
I can always count on the team to be at the front when it really matters : )
