Come Meet The Team!

On Monday, June 8th, the Webcor Builders Women's Professional Cycling Team will be holding a "Ladies Night" question and answer session at Brickyard Bikes on the penultimate day before the Nature Valley Grand Prix kicks off. From June 10th to the 14th, you can see Webcor and many other professional and amateur cycling teams race throughout central Minnesota, while taking in the sights and sounds of all the goings-on around the course and start/finish lines.

Currently ranked second overall in the NRC rankings, Webcor also has four riders in the top fifteen individual rankings, as well. Webcor is made up of eight strong women riders, whose race results include state champions, continental champions, elite national champions, and two 2008 Olympians. The team is directed by Karen Brems, who, in her cycling career, has won a world time trial championship, a USPRO road race championship, was an Olympian in 2000, and the pursuit masters champion in 2008.

Look for Webcor to be a dominant force come June 10th, when the Nature Valley Grand Prix kicks off with the St. Paul Riverfront Time Trial. This will be a no-frills slug fest, with riders flying up and down Lilydale Road in this individual race against the clock and back by popular demand is the finish on top of the Ohio Street hill.
