A Visit from our Friends at BARKLEY


Andy learns about Sports Nutrition
During the recent 8 day Crossroads race series, we were able to have a great visit from our presenting sponsor, BARKLEY. Andy Woolard from BARKLEY flew down Friday night to check out the Statesville Crit, Presbyterian Criterium, and Hanes Park Race.

All of the guys had a blast visiting with him and sharing their experiences of the week of racing. All of the races had great turnouts.

Andy interviews Coach Eric about the future of youth in cycling


While here, Andy was able to meet with and interview several local cyclist and spectators to find out what has drawn them to the sport, and the love of a healthy lifestyle that comes along with cycling. BARKLEY, which sponsors our team along with the Hincapie/Barkley Development Team, has long been a supporter of the sport, and the benefits of healthy living. Through the interviews the Andy conducted, they hope to learn more about the sport and it's culture. The Team was very appreciative to have Andy visit us. It is always great to know that your sponsors value you as much as you value them. Read Andy's recap of the visit "When Sponsorship Works" on his blog.

Racing was great. Jeremy, Chris and Mike took 4 total wins in the Masters races, Lara and Lori took 1st and 2nd at Hanes Park, and Scottie, Darren and Justin all took top 10 finishes in the Pro races. However, we are all glad that it is over...lots of racing and long nights.

Thanks again to all of our supporters at BARKLEY. We race for you!
