Flatlanders take on Arkansas climbs during team camp
Hinton, Rhoades and Jensen finish up breakfast and the morning meeting.
The women of Mercy Cycling 2009 met this weekend in Fort Smith, Arkansas to spend a couple of days getting to know each other better and put in some fair weather hours on the road, including a Sunday afternoon trip up Mt. Gaylor.
This year’s line-up brings back Michelle Jensen, Jennifer (Herrell) Rhoades and Pamela Hinton. Rumor has it that Melissa Cox will be joining the squad later in the season and Nebraska’s Sydney Brown and Iowa’s Lindsay Wetzel round out the team for this season.
The team finalized its calendar and will kick it off with a full squad at Hillsboro-Roubaix, April 4th. Other season highlights include the Joe Martin Stage Race, Tulsa Tough, Masters Nationals, Tour of Kansas City and the Gateway Cup.
