Prior to the Team's awesome victory in the Athens Twilight Criterium in Athens, GA the women visited the Barrow Elementary School on Stop #3 of the Aaron's Bicycle and Helmet Safety Tour.

Over 200 kids listened intently as Rebecca Larson, Erica Allar, Anna Lang, Kristin Sanders and Meredith Miller spoke to them about what their daily lives entail as professional bicycle racers as well as the importance of helmets and general bicycle safety.

50 helmets that were generously donated by the team's title sponsor, Aaron's Corporate Furnishings, and were delivered to teacher Teresa Sheppard prior to the team's arrival. A contest was created that would challenge the kids to think about bicycle and helmet safety and to express that through a written story, a poem, or any creative process. The top 50 entries will be awarded one of the bright red helmets! One of the kids raised her hand and asked, "Can we submit multiple entries?" The helmets have been a great hit!
