2006 TEAM ROSTER |
 |
This 40 year old father of three is a threat to go off the front or out the back at any time. Specializes in straight, flat courses. There are no broken bikes, just more artwork for the restaurant. Menu Recommendation: Kosmic Karma pizza with a Rogue Dead Guy Ale | |
 |
This 40 year old PROUD father of 2 little girls is our Track specialist and wanna be triathlete. His experience includes managing the scott-bikyle flyers professional cycling team and the Danish national team through 3 USpro championships (back when it was called corestates..yes he's that old) and MANY hours logged pedaling in circles. Having hung up his wheels 15 years ago to actually use his architectural education and gain weight, he's back in the saddle and ready to dust other fixies and toss in a three way event here and there. Oh and he designs Mellow Mushrooms (when's your next store opening Terry). Menu Recommendation: A Slice Magical mystery tour with chicken, a slice of the white pie all washed down with a frosty glass (or 3) of blue moon with an orange slice and as Jeff spicoli would say "I'm set for life." Quote: "Terry's my urologist; he said I could go at any time." | |

 |
State mountain bike champion takes his cerebral cycling approach to the asphault. The Cajun Cannon looks to make 2006 his breakout year. Menu Recommendation: Mighty Meaty Pizza and a Bass Ale | |
 |
A threat to win any sprint if he can avoid the wreckage of his team mates littering the road. That is assuming that he will be dressed in time for the start of the race. Menu Recommendation: Hummus and a Stella Artois (Birkenstocks optional) | |
 |
Alabama State Cyclo Cross Champion ready to commit himself to the road or maybe just ready to be committed. Marty has trained extremely hard this off season and promises to be a factor early in the season, unless of course he meets someone... Menu Recommendation: Barbecue Pizza and an Amberbock, unless you wanted something else different then I guess we could get that. It really doesn't matter. | |

Half stallion, half mountain goat, Mike is a threat on any hilltop finish. Available in his free time to offer any event planning advise. Time is getting short as he is determined to win a race while he can still ride faster than his daughter. Menu Recommendation: Gourmet White Pizza with jerk chicken, spinach and sun-dried tomatoes cut into 10 pieces with extra Parmesan cheese and light on the olive oil with a Blue Moon wheat ale in a chilled frosty mug. Is there room on the deck? Does this TV get OLN? Can I get it to go? I have a meeting to go to. | |
 |
Race often, train when you can. Curtis is a multisport athlete and a threat to hang around to the end of any race. The only certified firefighter on the squad. Combines Cat 2 speed with Cat 5 bike skills. Hold your line! Menu Recommendation: Avocado Grinder and a Newcastle Brown Ale | |
 |
Chico IS the man! One of the few guys on the team who may still have some good years ahead of him. Should contend for any field sprint finish. Menu Recommendation: House Special Pizza, parmesan pretzels and Sierra Nevada | |
 |
Team wrench and winner of the lowest body fat contest. Wigs can hang with the best just as long as the race isn't during business hours. Menu Recommendation: One half of a slice of cheese Pizza and a dip cup | |
 |
Rich combines military discipline and a burning desire to get out of the house to complete the squad. Still a newcomer to the bike scene, excuse him if he still waves at other bikers going around the course. Menu Recommendation: Medium Pizza with no cheese and light on the sauce with a Dos Equis Especial in a kids cup. | |
 |
The 1st Lieutenant of the paceline. He has the unfortunate combination of being too heavy to climb but lacking the explosiveness of a sprinter. Hmmm. Water bottle, anyone? He’s been told he looks fast, though. "Thanks, Honey!" Menu Recommendation: Tempeh Grinder and a Blue Powerade | |
 |
The pastor of the peloton brings maturity and knowledge (some it relevant) to the team. A real break away threat on any day (except Sunday). Menu Recommendation: Pepperoni Pizza and a glass of holy water...and a Red Bull | |
 |
Kent was born in Gadsden in 1971 and has been on his bike since shortly thereafter. As a result of a near death wildlife experience, Kent continues to wear a headlight, even for day time races. Excuse the glare, but you will thank him if another deer ever darts out on to the course. There's sprinter's legs buried in that hair, so look for Kent to be a factor at the line. Menu Recommendation: Meatball sub and a Coke with no ice; the lady will have the same | |
 |
Brought to Mellow Mushroom Racing to bolster its climbing corps, Mike has already been a factor in early season mountain races. If he can lose just a few more pounds, this guy should be able to climb with the elite of the sport. Controversial banning from Spanish Cycling in the late 80's still haunts this mysterious rider from the Alabama high country. The mere mention of his name around a cycling event is enough to inspire most riders to apply more chamois cream. Menu Recommendation: The entire left side of the menu and a pitcher of what that guy has. |
