Upcoming Races for the "A-Team"

The "A-Team" will send a team of riders to contest the Montreal World Cup and Grand Tour of Montreal as well as send a small but strong squad to the CSC Invitational in Arlington, VA this coming weekend.

Both Felicia Gomez and Julie Beveridge will be looking for a top placing in the Montreal WC in hopes of landing a spot on the Canadian Olympic Team. If Mt. Hood is any indication of the form these two riders are carrying into this tough selection race I would say they have a lot going for them. A strong supporting team of Meredith Miller, Kristin Sanders, Alison Testroete and Carmen McNellis will be heading to Montreal as well.

At the CSC Invitational it will be Erica Allar, who recently finished 3rd in Sommerville, Anna Lang and team veteran Catherine Powers who will look to bring home some cash in Arlington, VA before being joined by Athens Twilight winner, Rebecca Larson and heading up to race in the Triple Crowne of races that begins in Allentown at the Lehigh Valley Classic. Reading will be spot two of the Triple Crowne followed by the Liberty Classic in Philadelphia, PA.

For the Liberty Classic, the "A-Team" will see the return of Kat Carroll from her recent european racing where she claimed 2nd place in a stage at the Tour de L' Aude. Joining her will be Meredith Miller, Rebecca Larson, Carmen McNellis, Kristin Sanders, and Erica Allar who finished 8th place in last years race.
