That’s a wrap! Our Farewell Tour: @powlessgranfondo was the perfect last hurrah for our team DNA Pro Cycling 💕 Most of our 2024 staff, a bunch of our current riders and a few OGs got together for the inaugural event presented by @bear_race_events, our rider @shaynapowless & her family in Auburn, California on November 2, 2024. Though it rained during the Fondo, there were only smiles amongst us all, and the weekend was full of laughter as we reflected on old memories and made new ones!

We’re are excited to see our breakaway specialis
We’re are excited to see our breakaway specialist and rouleur, @krauwerda sign with the North American-based UCI team @cyniscacycling. For the last three years, Kaitlyn has been one of our most dependable team players - she is not only athletically gifted and has the skills, but she is into numbers & is a techie, earning her the nickname “Data” on our team. We will definitely be following her as she continues her growth as a professional cyclist. Cynisca: We’re thrilled to announce Kaitlyn Rauwerda as the newest rider to join Cynisca for the 2025 season 🌟 Kaitlyn is a versatile rider known for her opportunistic racing style. She thrives in breakaways where her ability to gauge the perfect moment and capitalize on race dynamics has made her a a breakaway specialist. 💥 After winning a stage at Vuelta Colombia last year and taking the overall victory at Speedweek, Kaitlyn is ready to bring her skills to the next level and race a full season in Europe. 🚴 🌍 Kaitlyn shares: “It’s been great to watch how Cynisca has provided an avenue for North American riders to further develop racing in Europe over the past few years. I couldn’t be more excited to join the squad for 2025, and I’m confident this group will be one to reckon with.” #itsourdna #data #finalseason #cyniscacycling Photos by @lavueltaesasi, @veloimages

Two of our riders will race for the 🌈 at UCI Gravel World Championships in Belgium on October 5th, 2024 - @krauwerda 🇨🇦 & @shaynapowless 🇺🇸! The 134km race will take them from Halle to Leuven, navigating the challenging terrain of the Brabant Forest. Their race through the Belgian National Park will take them on beautiful unpaved gravel roads, monumental trees, and steep climbs along the hollow roads.
