Although we had a few riders in the 2nd Annual Cave Creek Bike Festival, we got reports only on our youngest member in the race: Tag Broaderip. Doesn't he look formidable in his first race wearing his Strada kit? Read More...

Our second annual Strada Hilly 100K Charity ride was a great success thanks to our members who rode the event and those who supported it. Special thanks go to the Pat Henley, John Terrey and Don Henley who provided all of the food and also acted as a sag wagon for our riders. We also thank our ride leaders who worked very hard to get everyone through the tough ride in a safe manner while having fun: Jeff Biever and Drew Albert in our lead group and Jay Natoli and Ron McFadden in our second group. It was perfect weather and our members contributed $700 to the Alzheimers Association. Thanks for your generosity!
