2009 — A Year in Pictures
A big thanks to all of the shutterbugs out there on the intertubes, here are a couple of collages featuring Evo club members from both the recent road (21 MB) and cyclo-cross (16 MB) seasons. As indicated, both images are quite large, so don't forget to turn up your ISP bandwidth to 11 before you view them!
Evo is proud to announce our 2009 Championship Medal Winners
The 2009 racing season is winding down fast, so we've gone ahead and crunched the numbers to see how our club members did in the local MABRA and Virginia Cycling championship events. In a word, awesome, with an accumulated total of 29 medals from all events!
So a toast to all of the medal winners, but not too much of one, as we expect great things from y'all next year as well!

Winter Training Rides
Not to rest on our laurels during the winter, the club hosts 5 different training rides each week:
- Tuesday & Thursday night rides
Starting at 6:00 PM in the municipal parking lot opposite the caboose in downtown Herndon, Victor Siegfried will take the group west on the trail and into the darkness out to Leesburg. Rides last around 2 hours. Open to all those brave enough to ride in the spooky dark!
- Saturday team rides
Your Team Captain or designated ride leader will advertise your weekly CAT 2/3, CAT 4/5, or Womens Team Ride. Many of the routes appear on our Rides page.
- Sunday All Club rides
Starting at 9 AM at The Bike Lane in the Reston Town Center, and will be led by various Evo riders. Let Victor Siegfried know if you are interested in leading one of the Sunday rides throughout the winter. Details of the ride will be posted prior to the weekend. This ride is open to all Evo riders and riders interested in joining Evo and will be advertised at The Bike Lane.
Congratulations MABRA Time Trial Champions!
Evo wins 3 gold medals at the MABRA Time Trial Championships. Congratulations to Emma Swatman who won the Women’s Cat 4 race, Ryan Simpson who won the Men's Cat 3 race, and Mike Bradbury who won the Masters 45+ race.
Evo Wins 2 VA Omnium Jerseys!
Congratulations to Ted Michaels and Victor Siegfried for their season-long efforts to win their respective categories in the VA Omnium Championships. Ted won the 30+ category (for the second year in a row), placing 2nd in both the hillclimb and time trial events, plus 7th in the crit. Vic won the 50+ category, winning both the road race and crit events along the way.
Congratulations to them both, and we can't wait to see them in their new championship jerseys in next year's races.
Congrats to Ryan Simpson!
Ryan snags the MABRA Cat 3 Criterium championship as he continues his rapid ascent through the ranks, adding to his stash of upgrade points to the inevitable conclusion of a forced upgrade to Cat 2 before the season ends.
Congratulations Ryan, and don't forget to save some for next year, so you can continue beating up on the seniors!

George is the captain of the new Evolution Sponsored Team, which has collected considerable attention so far this season. Keep those results coming George!
Congrats to Victor Siegfried!

Congrats to Randy and Ted!
Randy Root headed out to Kansas City to enjoy the arctic cold at the US National Cyclo-cross Championships and placed 8th in the Masters 50-54 race.
Ted Michaels didn't have to travel quite so far, and probably enjoyed better weather as well, and placed 2nd in the year-long MABRA BAR in the Masters 30+ category.
Congrats to you both on your most excellent results!
