\n When a group of Texas cyclists got together to form the Haute Wheels Racing women\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s cycling team last November, they agreed that, while skill level was important, they wouldn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t get very far if they didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t work well together.
\n \u00e2\u20ac\u0153We\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve all raced each other as competitors, so we knew each other\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s personalities,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d said team captain Mandy Heintz.
\n That teamwork served them well in the Texas circuit, where they won all seven races in which they competed. And not long after becoming a team, they knew they wanted to go big.
\n This week marks the team\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s first appearance in the Redlands Bicycle Classic, where they hope to make an impact during the five-day series of racing events, culminating with two days of…\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\n What a dramatic night! We had about 40 show up at the start of the Thursday Night Rider, hoping for one of those great post-storm evening rides.\u00c2\u00a0 Even though the skies to the north and east were black and foreboding, to the west was hope. We even saw a little sunshine. Expecting…\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
