Christian Kearney:
Christian’s second season in the Pro/1/2 field has been impressive. This Spring he has had top-10 finishes in the most challenging and prestigious criteriums in Northern California, including Santa Cruz and Cats Hill.

Josh Sneed:
In addition to being a national-caliber cyclo-cross racer, he is fierce on the road. This season Josh had a podium finish at the Bariani Road Race and a top-10 at the epic Cats Hill.

Dennis Guikema:
Not considered much of a climber, Dennis has surprised even himself by winning two King of the Mountains competitions so far this season. Hilly courses like Nevada City aren’t his forte, but he sure loves the crowds!

Successful Living Professional Cycling Team announced recently that it has added Gordon McCauley for the remainder of the 2006 season. McCauley was released voluntarily by Team Monex and made his Successful Living debut at the Philadelphia International Championships, on June 11 in Philadelphia, Penn. Team Successful Living Director Steve Hegg commented, “Adding a rider like McCauley gives our team some additional horse power, and experience as we move into the second part of the year.”
McCauley is the current New Zealand road race champion and will compete to keep his title in November after the season here comes to a conclusion in September. Hegg commented, “Gordon just came off a bronze medal performance in the Commonwealth games a few months ago, and I’m personally looking forward to seeing his abilities against the clock, as well as his aggressive riding style I’ve heard much about. I think his racing style will set a good example for some of our younger riders in stretching their limits.”
