About The Team

The team was founded in 2006 although the many of the members have been riding and racing together for years. The team had many highlights in 2005/2006 including Kevin Daum getting the Golden Buckle at Leadville 100, Ross Clark scoring a podium 5th place finish at Wilderness 101, Bob Rodgers recording a top 20 finish at Lumberjack 100, Steve Twining with numerous podiums in the OMBC XC Series, Tiffany Clark having two babies and still competing in the local cyclocross series, Jeff Augustine with numerous outstanding age group and overall finishes in local and regional triathalons. The team is expecting big things in 2007 with some new sponsors and new team members.

For 2007 the team will have 10 members (2 more potentially to be added) and will compete in a variety of cycling races including:
(i) Regional/national ultra endurance off-road events such as 100 milers and 12/24 hour races;
(ii) Local/regional traditional XC events such as OMBC XC series;
(iii) Local/regional road races; and
(iv) Local/regional/national cyclocross events.

On addition to our race schedule, many of us are involved in various charities and non-profit groups. We also help out with CAMBA and local trail building.

Personal & Professional Life:

I work at The Cleveland Clinic as a Nurse Practitioner in our Center for Vaculitis Care and Research Center, working with rare diseases most of us will never even hear of. I love working with a dynamic patient population and take great pride in helping them through very difficult times. The little loves of my life, Emily and Hannah, are the absolute joy in my life. I would never have imagined the day to day laughes and smiles they give to me. Althought it is sometimes (most of the time) a challenge to be a mom and continue racing, I spend a lot of time on my trainer watching Tour de France and OMBC reruns so I'm ready when time does give Mama a day to race! Otherwise, you will most likely see me on the course with my camera and two little cuties by my side cheering for our #1 racer- Daddy!

Contributions to Community:

We currently reside in Streetsboro, Ohio. We are active in our church, which is actually in Hudson! In our neighborhood, we try and provide a good example of “family fitness”- we encourage those around us to bike- which for us includes the little ones on bikes. You can usually find Emily riding her Specialized Bike around the neighborhood with Mom or Dad pulling Hannah in her Burley. Our biggest contribution is to help provide support to the Camp Manatoc Race, in every way we can. This has been a wonderful event that has helped the sport of Mountain Biking grow in the surrounding area.

Anything else:

Have fun riding and racing!
