Rouge Roubaix

Rouge went great and Metro VW took most all of the money in both the men's and women' races! Steve, from Plan B Cycles in Port Orange, Fl, ran our tech support and helped out Andre who took care of the GS responsibilities in the absence of Nathan. Metro VW will have most of the elite squad in California and 3 elite riders in Florida this weekend. Look out Tampa.
