"The Valley Preferred Cycling Center means so much, not only to the world of cycling and to our community, but to me personally, as this is the venue where I was able to build and finish my career as a professional cyclist. I look forward to guiding the facility into the future and showing the community the possibilities that the Cycling Center has to offer."
