Catherine Powers - Teacher/Professional Cyclist

Catherine Powers, one of the veterans of the Aaron's Team, while not racing as much this season as season's past, still continues to take time out of her teaching schedule to make time for young cycling enthusiasts. Catherine was interviewed by Mia Van Maldegiam on her career as a professional woman cyclist for a career day fair.

The Aaron's Team met Scott and Melissa Van Maldegiam and there two kids, Mia and Alec a couple of years ago at Criterium Nationals in Downers Grove, IL just outside of Chicago. Since then, the family has invited the "A-Team" back every year as a host family and is an enthusiastic supporter of the team.

After Kat Carroll's strong ride at the Nature Valley Grand Prix she pulled on the Leaders Jersey for the Women's Prestige Series as well as the Sprint Leaders Jersey....well done Kat!

Nature Valley Grand Prix

Four weeks on the road took the "A-Team" from Montreal to Philadelphia, to Minnesota and to Austin, TX before a much needed rest at home.

Along the way we revisited some of our wonder host families and got to catch up with them as well as meet some new folks that took the team under their wings. GRATitude GalORe is all I can say...thank-you, thank-you, thank-you all for your hospitality and support! We can't do this without you all.

Brian is All Smiles

Brian Muck, the Aaron's Team Mechanic, hit the streets of Little Italy in Montreal Canada to represent the Aaron's Team during the mechanics/directors race that takes place every year prior to the elite women taking the course. Brian's love of cycling shines through that huge smile.
