ConexTrain, travelgirl magazine women's teams combine

Austin, Texas-based Team ConexTrain and Atlanta's travelgirl magazine women’s professional cycling teams consolidated last week, forming a top-tier National Racing Calendar (NRC) squad for 2007. The new team, Team HealthCoach presented by travelgirl magazine, will be managed out of Austin by AG Cycling (www.agcycling.com), which ran Team ConexTrain in 2006.

The squad will consist of Jen McRae, winner of this year's Athens Twilight Criterium, Allyson Brandt, Kim Sawyer, Leigh Valletti, Tiffany Ballew, and Kim Foland. The new team will debut in October at the AMLI Downtown Criterium in Austin.
