We are excited to announce our partnership with co-title sponsor Craig Shelly Swiss Made Watches and will be known as the SoCalCycling.com / Craig Shelly Team in 2014.
Team Director, Frank Sarate, has structured the SoCalCycling.com / Craig Shelly Team to include ten Category 1/2 riders. The team is comprised of a balance of experienced riders and up and coming riders including: Frank Sarate, Tyler Locke, Patrik Ericsson (Sweden), Mathew Merrington (South Africa), Ryan Schneider, Lucas Binder, Evan Stade, Mario Frayre (Mexico), Luke Ollett and Tim Woo.
Team Director Frank Sarate said, “I am very excited about the composition of the team for 2014. We have a mix of seasoned riders and young, up and coming riders. I hope that our collective years of racing experience will help the younger riders with their development and achieve their cycling goals at a more accelerated pace. This year we have a strong, all-round and talented team that can be competitive in road races, as well as criteriums and stage races.”
The SoCalCycling.com / Craig Shelly Team will compete in races located in Southern California and select NRC and NCC races.
