Take some time to read an inspirational story as one man uses cycling to loose weight.  Meet Ernest Gagnon, May's US Cup featured rider.

Dear Riders,

With the majority of boats being at full capacity with bicycles, we highly recommend if you want to protect your investment to use a bike box when traveling.  This will insure your bike will be fully protected.

While a bike box is not mandatory for the ride over, we know how expensive many of these bicycles are and wanted to give everyone a heads up!

The Catalina Express crew will do everything in their control to ensure bikes are protected, but due to the nature of being on a boat and  in confined quarters, we suggest being proactive when it comes to protecting your equipment.

Sincerely,

US Cup Staff.

US Cup series sponsor, ESI grips has generiously donated an additional $500 towards the Men and Women's Triple Crown series overall prize pursue.

A huge thank you to Gary and Maria for making this happen.
