Jittery Joe's heads to South Africa

The Jittery Joe’s-Kalahari Pro Cycling Team will travel to Cape Town, South Africa for the UCI 2.2 Giro del Capo on March 8-13. The Bean Team’s first race will be a difficult five day race with six stages touring the wine country of South Africa.

"With our new co-sponsor Kalahari, this race was a perfect match for our team and a great start to the year," said Micah Rice, general manager of the team. "This race will give us some early season fitness and a great run-in to the Redlands Classic and the Dodge Tour de Georgia."

The Jittery Joe’s-Kalahari Team will have their training camp from February 23-March 4 in Athens, Georgia and will leave for South Africa on March 5. The team for the Giro del Capo will be Tim Johnson, Jonny Sundt, Evan Elken, Thad Dulin and Bruno Langlois.
