Team Coach Matt McNamara recently posted a podcast with noted Environmental Physiologist Dr. Stephen Cheung (.doc ) about a range of considerations for your training and performance in challenging environments.

Meet The Team: Dr Lenny Lesser.

We SHOULD call him Dr Lesser, but he's really Lenny... a long time team member who keeps looking for new challenges and ways to express himself. He's a huge asset to the team, from his contributions to club meetings over the years, to racing a variety of events throughout the year. He's on our Bovine list in October, and that's him rolling thru the Dolomites in Italy fully kitted out. The other shot is from the NCNCA Annual Awards a few years back...thanks for being part of the team Dr Lesser! :)

Team Wins Rock!

Having been around for more than 50 years, we've won a lot of races! On Thursdays we extend our thanks to current and past riders landing on the top step of the podium, this week we're looking at a few more of our favorites.

Pescadero must be one of the greatest road races in the country. It has a bit of everything - short climbs, narrow roads, high speed descents and a tough ascent to the finish on Haskins Grade. We've pulled off the "W" a few times including Helen Casabona pulling on a special winners jersey in 2018, putting 2 on the podium in the 2023 M50+ 3/4 with Steve Clifton and Steve Idhe. Mr Clifton would win again in 2025, and James Rainbow took the win way back in 2016 M35+ 3/4. We love Pesky!

We feel a bit like proud parents with this one...

Team Legend and all around bada** rider Norma Hilton opted for a literal last minute run to Japan to race Masters Worlds. She won both RR and TT at Masters Nats, earning an automatic invite to Worlds...and chose to go for the experience.

THEN she pulls two 4th place finishes! Didn't train for it really, just opted to go and BOOM near podiums. Talk about off-the-couch! Norma described some tough wind and cold weather at the top of the RR climb, but on she pedaled, right into our hearts and getting mad props for the audacity of it all!

Norma is so PV!
