Team Fresh Air Athena, a new women’s road racing trade team based in Kelowna, is looking for a few more category 1, 2 and 3 racers for the 2016 season. The team is accepting applications from committed riders interested in racing with the team in Western Canada and the US.
Riders must be positive ambassadors for team partners and strong members of their community. Riders will be expected to participate in team events and rides. If you are interested, please send your resume to Helena Coney at HelenaConey@athenaracing.net
Team Fresh Air Athena will be racing throughout BC and North Western USA. Team riders do auxiliary races in different cycling disciplines such as Mountain Bike, Triathlon, and Cyclocross. While provincial, national and international racing is important, the team recognizes the impact it has by racing locally, and will be participating in up to two races a week locally.
