| SInce it's inception in 1995, the Missing Link Racing Team has acheived astounding results at both the elite and amateur level. From very humble beginnings, Missing Link Cycling has grown into a highly successful, nationally recognized team. The Missing Link racing program has benefitted from the enormous pool of talent found in the Bay Area. Several of Missing Link Team alumni have gone on to highly successful careers in the cycling world and beyond. Here are a few of our success stories:
Jennifer Klish
A former Missing Link Coop member, she went on to become a Pro Downhill racer and eventually became the first ever female mechanic on the Pro Downhill Circuit, as Lisa Shers(2002 National DH Champion) wrench.
Gina Hall
A charter member of ClifBar's Luna Chix Team. Gina has competed at the World Cyclocross Championships for the past two years as part of the US Team. She placed 13th at Zolder, Belgium in 2002, and 11th in Monopoli, in 2003!
Ben & Andy Jacques-Maynes
Once touted in VeloNews as "collegiate cycling's twins of terror", both Ben and Andy are accomplished cyclocross racers. In 2007, Ben will compete as a professional for the Priority Health Cycling Team.
 
Nicole Hahn
Nicole moved on from racing as a Missing Link Team member to become an independant filmmaker. Her work includes "Hardihood", a film about the world of Women's downhill racers, and is currently filming the mountain bike World Cup circuit for ClifBar.

In the coming season Missing Link Cycling will return to it's roots, and refocus on Amateur level racing. We will retain our strong masters level program in road, mountain, and cyclocross. For 2006 we are proud to become an official sponsor of the Berkeley High School Mountain Bike Team, and will continue to be a sponsor of the UC Berkeley Cycling Team.
