The new MonaVie/Cannondale mountain bike team is changing the rules and focusing on nontraditional competitions. With an all star roster this team will be found in the results from competitions all across the globe.

Collegiate mountain bike racers are a different breed. Not only are they going to school but they are doing it without the support of their professors unlike the varsity sports. In between midterms and papers they find time to train like professional athletes and each year the level of competition increases. This year Banner Elk, North Carolina played host to the collegiate mountain bike invasion and let's just say the event was better than ever.
