Team Director, Frank Sarate, has built the Elite Team to include nine Category 1/2 riders. The team is comprised of seasoned riders including; Frank Sarate, Chris McDonald, Ruben Meza, Martin Adamczyk, Waylon Smith, Julio Mollinedo and Rafael Lopez.
The team also includes two young riders under the age of 25 including Shane Buysse and Uriel Rayo. “I am very excited about the composition of the team.

We hope that our years of experience will help the younger riders with their development and cycling goals,” explained Frank Sarate.

Sponsoring a team also allows us to promote SoCalCycling.com to the cycling community and promote the events and companies that participate with the site,” said SoCalCycling.com's Marketing Director, Christy Nicholson.
Both Frank and Christy have deep roots in the sport of cycling. Christy competed nationally and internationally as a professional cyclist for 13 years, retiring in 2000.
