The Florida Velo Junior development team has been invited to participate in the Tour of the Red River Gorge Invitational July 14 though 17 in Lexingtton, Kentucky, and the Tour de l'Abitibi on July 21 through 26 in Val d"Or, Canada. Team director/manager Henry Willis says, "These two UCI races, along with the 50th Fitchburg Longsjo Classic the first week of July and the USA Cycling Junior, U23 & Elite Road National Championships the last week of July make for a full month of racing at the highest level for our nine man squad. Teams of six riders will be selected to race at each destination except Nationals which is individual competition. Florida Velo Junior Devo is a team comprised of some of the VERY BEST 17-18 year old juniors in the Southeast: AJ Meyer, Ty Magner, Will Willis, Craig Creeden, Mike Stone, Jake Arnold, Steve Rusnak, Alex Spook and John “Mato”Zuluaga. These young men were selected because they are exceptional riders and because they possess the exceptional character that Florida Velo Junior Devo believes should be the hallmark of all cyclists."
The team is funded by the riders and donations from the community and needs your support. Henry commented, "We still need to raise $4000.00 to make this summer of championship racing possible for these juniors." If you are able to contribute or know someone who can please contact Henry at 321 332 3492 or 3021 Peel Avenue, Orlando, FL 32806.
