With the addition of former collegiate All-American Jeff King and the experienced duo of Mark Alden and Jesus Espitia, the New York-based CRCA/Blue Ribbon-Translations.com Racing Team (www.blueribboncycling.com) is poised for a strong 2005 season. Returning to the squad are 2004 New York State Masters Road Race Champion David Taylor and perennial strongman Thomas Pennell, both aiming to tear up the 40+ field in 2005. The team hopes to build on the success of its 2004 campaign, which resulted in over 25 podium places and 85 top-ten finishes in races up and down the Eastern seaboard.
