Willow Koerber of Asheville, NC started racing mountain bikes when she was 16. Since then while earning a degree she achieved the title of 3 time Collegiate National Champion. Willow has made a name for herself at the National level with several good placings in the NCS in '99 and '00. We are proud to have her on the team. She is spending a lot of time training with her very fast world-class racing friends in British Columbia and is looking forward to the 2001 season.

Lanie Mason of Flagstaff, Arizona is very motivated this year after racing in Europe last year and gaining valuable experience. She has had some very good results (8th Place Pro Women - Big Bear '99). She loves training in her own backyard...... Flagstaff and Sedona and is very disciplined with her training. She has experienced the crazy crowds ringing cowbells and running along side of her yelling, "Die, Die, Die" - which means Go, Go, Go during the World Cup last year in Houffalize, Belgium. Lanie is ready to Go Go this year.

Beth Frye of Jonas Ridge, North Carolina has been racing since 1996. She lives in one of the best places in the country (if not world) and trains with dedication. Her role models are Julie Furtado, Susan DiMattai and Tinker Juarez. Beth is relatively new to the Pro scene and has been consistently gaining experience. She knows how to have fun on the bike and looks forward to another successful season.

Paul Bell plays different roles for the team (working with Andy and crew) keeping up with all of the factory rep duties, managing the team's affairs etc. while actually racing anything with two wheels. You will see Paul racing fast Dual Slalom, XC, BMX - or slow (He won the DUO PRO 24 Hours of Snowshoe 2000!!!). Also Paul has these results to be proud of:
1st Place Semi-Pro - World Cup Conyers, Ga 1998
1st Place Dual Slalom - Snowshoe, WV AMBC 1999
Paul's bike even has history........ Litespeed Tellico '95 (one of the first six ever made - sent to Mountain Bike Magazine to be tested and then he got it). He is always a gentlemen and an excellent spokesman for Cane Creek.
