Team Tibco off to Terrific Start

Team TIBCO has started off the season by tearing up the road with outstanding race performances. Last weekend marked the "official" kick-off of the cycling season, with the first two races on the National Racing Calendar (NRC); the Merco Credit Grand Prix and the Merco Credit Road Race. Team TIBCO won both events, and is now leading the national rankings.
Leading the charge is Team Captain, Brooke Miller. Deemed "Sprinter Extraordinaire" by the press in early February, Brooke has lived up to her reputation. Brooke has won all five races she has entered since the season began. In addition to the Merco races last weekend, Brooke won the Bay Front Criterium (2/10), Cherry Pie Criterium (2/11), and Santa Clarita Criterium (2/24). She has also placed second in the Central Valley Classic Road Race (3/9) and fourth in the Central Valley Classic Criterium (3/11). Each top placing has been characterized by her amazing sprint finish.
Team TIBCO has also posted success with a win in the Women's Cat 3 Merco Credit Grand Prix (3/3) by Alexis Alexander and a third place finish in the Snelling Road Race (2/24) by Katie Lamden.

Jan. 6, 2006 – Yokozuna Housing and Wire has reached a manufacturing agreement with Scott Mathauser Corporation to produce a second generation of Scott-Mathauser brake shoes. Both companies have been working on for some time on developing new models of the storied Scott-Mathauser brake shoes.
Edward Scott passed away in March of 2001, but his corporation has been continuing its research and development under Edward’s son and corporation president, Tim Bushnell. The new brake shoes using variations on the legendary iron-oxide laced salmon compound will be available in the spring of 2006.
