Congratulations to Georgia Gould and Catharine Pendrel on your one-two finish in the 2009 USA Cycling Pro Cross Country Tour's season opener.

The LUNA Chix Pro Team is an all-women's professional mountain bike, cyclo-cross, and multi-sport (triathlon and XTERRA) team sponsored by LUNA. The LUNA squad is comprised of four pro mountain bikers, four elite triathletes, and two XTERRA pros.

The World's Best Team

The LUNA Chix pros finished 2008 as the top-ranked women's mountain bike team in the world after winning the season-long UCI World Cup team and points competitions. LUNA was also the only cycling team to have two of its members qualify for the mountain bike race at the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing.

The LUNA Chix have also proven to be the most successful pro team in the history of U.S. mountain bike racing, winning 14 of 16 possible national series titles since the team's inception. In fact, during the 2007 season, LUNA athletes won every cross-country race in the national series.

LUNA pros also won races and set records in numerous triathlon and XTERRA races in 2008. The highlight of LUNA's multi-sport season, was the XTERRA World Championships where the LUNA Chix set the fastest splits in all three disciplines, finishing second and third overall. LUNA athletes also won the 2008 U.S. National XTERRA Championship, recording three individual XTERRA national wins along the way.

Beyond racing, the LUNA Pro Team also works closely with the Breast Cancer Fund (BCF), a San Francisco-based nonprofit working to raise awareness for and work towards the elimination of the environmental causes of breast cancer. The LUNA Pro Team promotes awareness for the BCF's mission by prominently displaying their logo on team uniforms, support vehicles and collateral, as well as generating financial support through annual auctions and fund-raisers.
