This season our 20 riders have entered over 200 events... capturing 60 Top 3 Podium Finishes! Nice Work Ladies... Way to represent! ....and well Cyclocross season is just ramping up... and we have BIG plans for some BIG wins!

A HUGE THANKS goes out to our sponsors... Making it Happen!

Queens of Cross was a HUGE success!

We did it! Our first event promotion was a success! September 10th was the cyclocross season opener in Colorado... and our event, the first annual "Queens of Cross", was a blast! Our goal with this event was to provide an atmosphere where women and beginners could try out the sport of cyclocross without feeing pressured... and our event did just that. Throughout the day we had 300 competitors with OVER 100 of them WOMEN! That is amazing!

Thank you to all the Tough Girls, the Happy Coffee CX Team, Friends and Family, the American Cycling Association, and all of our sponsors for helping us put on such a successful event!
