U14 Coach Evan Elliott Still Recovering from Wrist Injury

U14 Devo Coach, Evan Elliott will be forced to sit out his 2011 coaching duties. After breaking his wrist in the Pro Mens National Championship race in Sol Vista last July, Evan had surgery to place pins and plates to support the recovery. He must now get surgery to take the metal out, meaning another period of healing off the bike. This is sad news as Evan has been with the program since the beginning in 2006. Please wish Evan a speedy recovery! We wish him well and look foreword to his future role with the program.
