Safeway Corporation, based in Pleasanton, California, one of the largest Grocers in the US, and Atlanta based GA Communications, Safeway’s advertising partner since 1995, have announced a new Elite Masters Cycling Team for the 2005 season.
Safeway/GA Communications Cycling, based in the SF Bay Area, is one of two sponsored teams affiliated with the VSRT, a long standing club in the East Bay. Leading the team are 2004 NCNCA Best All-around Rider, Robert Pasco, 2004 NCNCA Masters Criterium Champion, Jeff Poulsen, and Dan Martin, a former Canadian and US National Rowing Champion. Martin spent most of the 2004 season concentrating on rowing, attempting to gain a spot on the Olympic team, and only began to focus on cycling in September, scoring two wins at the end of the season.
