The Twenty-Ten PCK and Mothballs-
SLO thanks Echelon Santa Barbara Cycling, Art's Cyclery.com/Wild Horse Wines Cycling, and UCSB Cycling for hosting great races this weekend. It's a pleasure to support these races and we wish Echelon good luck in continued funding of their up and coming Junior's team. Thanks also goes out to Dorothy Wong for her work with the Women's Cycling Challenge program, which kicked off its points competition this weekend and handed out sweet shwag to women finishers! From her totals, we heard over 120 women raced over the 2 days. Yeahhh!
