Interesting Fact: Rarely do you find a young rider capable of racing at the professional level. Even more rarely do you find a young rider that is capable, find the right program to help them make that jump. This team is the link to make that happen and I'm proud to be part of it.

Aaron Pool
Residence: Lincoln, NE
Racing Age: 25
Interesting Fact: I was lucky enough to be racing in Belgium for the last five years. The cobbled roads & climbs out there were nothing that I could have expected, & the cycling culture was as rich as the beer. If you are a cycling or bike racing enthusiast I strongly recommend taking a trip to see the Ronde Van Vlaanderen or Paris Roubaix live & in person. You will not regret it.
Tom Price
Residence: Overland Park, KS
Racing Age: 51
Interesting Fact: I'm the oldest guy on the team by.......... just a bit. In 26 years of bicycle racing I've seen a lot of action but at 50 years old I'm having some of my best years ever. I started cycling to recover from knee surgery that occurred while racing motocross. It didn't take long to decide that bicycle racing, on the road or in the dirt is the place for me.
Shadd Smith
Residence: Overland Park, KS
Racing age: 40
Interesting Fact: Was featured in Outside Magazine and on The Early Show for cycling achievements.
