Currently, after the race results from Delray (Delray Beach Twilight) and Tuscon (Old Pueblo Grand Prix), the Rose Bandit Racers are ranked 3rd overall in the team standings for the 2012 USA Crits Championship Series and that is without any team participation in the Old Pueblo Grand Prix in Tuscon, AZ!!  Over the next several weeks, some of the most intense and exciting racing will take place and our team will be there.   The three key events known in the United States to be amongst the most prestigious criterium racing events are the Presbyterian (April 14th), Terrapin Athens Twilight (Aptil 27-28th) and Speedweek USA (April 28 – May 6th).  Two of the events, Presbyterian and Twilight are part of the 2012 USA Crits Series.

Famous For Its HUGE crowds and energy, Athens Twilight is one of the most exciting racing events! Part of the USA Crits series, its the kickoff to Speedweek and a favorite in the racing community.

Couple that with Laura Van Gilder  joining with us to form The Mellow Mushroom-Rose Bandit Racing team for the remainder of the racing season and what can we say other than wow! (more to follow on LVG …stayed tuned)
