One of Canada's best mountain bike riders, Geoff Kabush, will be riding with Symmetrics Cycling on the road in 2007. Kabush, a multiple National champion in mountain bike and cyclo-cross, placed ninth at the 2000 Olympic Games and won the World Mountain Bike Relay Championships in 2004.

Kabush will ride for the team in select road events that complement his mountain bike schedule. "I've watched Symmetrics grow over the past couple years and I have really been impressed," he explained. "The Cunninghams have created an incredible team filled with great riders and, more importantly, great people. I'm really excited that I am able to fit in some road racing next year and there is no other team I would rather join up with."

Kabush has raced several top-level road events before, finishing 31st in the Tour of Georgia, as well as participating in international races like the Tour of Malaysia and the USPRO Championships. His climbing skills will be a definite asset to the team. "I'm definitely hoping to do some of the more difficult races with some hard climbing," Kabush said. "I am looking forward to the challenge of racing on the road again; I really want to help out the squad in whatever capacity I can. I know most of the guys pretty well - Pinner was my best man at my wedding."
