In just 14 months of bicycle racing, Evie is ranked #1 in the US for Masters road racing, age 30+ in 2009. Her athletic prowess started when she attended college on a full scholarship for cross country running; she has been acquiring athletic accomplishments ever since. Her current goals are to create a women’s cycling team (co-founder of SpokesWomen Syndicate, Inc.) that is well respected (and FUN!), while dedicated to promoting new riders (photo by Tina Wrona). 

"The opportunity to work with Performance Bicycle as a Premier Sponsor is phenomenal.  Their belief in our organization is pivotal to our mission of encouraging more women to ride bikes and to participate in racing.  All the women we have recruited to be on our Elite and Development teams are SpokesWomen for cycling and for our gender.  I am thrilled at the overwhelming support of Performance Bicycle and the greater cycling community !"

2009 was Kate’s first full season of racing.  Starting the year as a Cat 4 beginner, Kate successfully raced her way to a Category 2 upgrade.  Having competed in volleyball and track and field at the collegiate level (while at the same time balancing an addiction to rock climbing), Kate has found racing to be a fantastic outlet for her competitive spirit.  With this inaugural season under her belt, Kate is excited to be joining SpokesWomen Syndicate for the 2010 season and to take her cycling to a new level of performance.

Age: 23
USCF: Category 2
Hometown: Chapel Hill, NC
Current: Still in Chapel Hill, NC
Profession: Self employed
Coach: Dave Williams (trianglemultisport.com)

 Chris is a swimmer at heart, but began cycling in order to take up triathlon several years ago. After a few years of improvement on the bike, her swimming and cycling were finally strong enough to offset her running deficits so that she could turn pro. As practice for her draft-legal triathlons, she decided to give bike racing a try in 2009. After learning that it's difficult to race individually against several teams and that you can't expect to win if you pull the entire race, she was able to find enough good results to upgrade to a Cat 2. In the end, she decided that cycling races are a pretty fun way to get a brick workout in, so she'll give it another try in 2010.
