Hola Everyone!!

With Little 500 underway, our team is hard at work training nonstop on and off the track. I’m happy to say we have 4 amazing rookies on board this year: Arielle Coy De Vega, Marissa Sciscoe, Sara Moody, and Sarah Williams. They have been showing impressive determination to Mezcla and I am happy to be able to share this crazy experience called Little 500 with them. I could not have asked for better or more dedicated girls. Having said that, please show your support to the team by either buying one of our amazing shirts (on sale now!) or donate to our team. Our goal is to see a huge cheering section at the race rocking our pink and black shirts! So buy your shirt and help the team all together! Although we are making due with what we have at hand we are still in need of equipment and other essentials. You can make a donation here on our website or contact one of our riders, myself included, any size donation is welcomed and appreciated!

I am so happy to say Mezcla cycling is coming together nicely. I want to wish a good ride to our rookie rider Sarah Williams this weekend as she participates in the Hilly Hundred! Mezcla will be out riding this Sunday, we have been training hard and now its time to hit the road and prepare for Little 500 Fall Series. Keep a lookout for us on the road and during the competitions coming soon!

The year has started and the smell of Little 500 is already in the air, and I LOVE IT!! I am so excited to see that this year we have  4 new rookies ready to train and to be led by Sandra Salcedo (student coach), myself ( team captain), and John Segovia (Coach) to Little 500 2011. Mezcla, I am happy to say is here to stay and to make a statement! SI SE PUEDE!

With the conclusion of the 2010 Indiana University Little 500 Race, the women of Mezcla have began training for the summer cycling season. The team will be competing at various USAC-sanctioned events over the summer, and fans should keep checking the ‘Events’ page on our site for more information as it becomes available.

Please join us this Wednesday at 6 pm on the front lawn at La Casa Latino Cultural Center, for an informational meeting with Team Mezcla.

Team Mezcla started in 1995, and was the first Latino team to enter into the Little 500 bike race. Since then many students have competed for Mezcla as not only a way to stay competitive and healthy, but a means to participate in the largest intramural event in the country!

We would like all interested cyclists and runners (of all abilities, male and female) to meet some past Mezcla participants, as they share their experiences about their participation in the Little 50 and Little 500 races.

Even if you have not been on a bike in years, do not let that stop you!

If for some reason you absolutely cannot make it please email coach John Segovia at: jsegovia@indiana.edu, or call him at 219-677-3965.
