The 2003 mtbchick.com women's mountain bike team has announced its 2003 line-up. The Boulder, Colorado based team focuses on bringing women into the sport of mountain biking and nurturing junior women racers. Its eponymous website www.mtbchick.com is a resource for women's mountain biking including team news, women's cycling issues and clothing for sale.

The pro team consists of 2 pro women: collegiate racer Tarrah MacBeth and 24 hour and cross country specialist Tonya Laffey. The racers main focus will be the NORBA National Championship Series plus a full schedule of AMBC and selected World Cup and 24 hour races.

While the team focuses on racing, the racers will also be conducting women's mountain bike clinics and mountain bike outings for kids. The team will work with Girls, Inc. of Denver in 2003, and clinics will raise funds for Girls, Inc. (www.girlsincdenver.org) and Camp Joy's "Summer of Dreams" (www.joec.org) an outdoor program for inner-city youth in the Cincinnati, Ohio area.
