Westover to Make Return to Peloton
Comes Out of Retirement to Make Dickson a Winner

Seattle, Wa, June 27th, 2006: In an amazing turn of events and what has to be one of the most exciting things to happen to the Northwest cycling scene, Steve Westover will mount his bicycle once again in the spirit of competition and selflessness.

The stage has been set at the 2006 State Criterium Championships for a triumphant return to the peloton for this once skinny and mediocre category 2 bike racer. “I have been training like a madman in anticipation for this event… probably a total of 6 hours on the bike a week coupled with moving, painting, and dodging the wife and kids.” When asked why he has made this rather sudden and exciting decision to return to the peloton Steve remarked “When I learned that Anthony Dickson felt that his Seward Park victory was a legitimate win I felt it was my duty to make fun of him for that and to help him achieve a real victory.”

Although the State Criterium race is a key event it will only serve as training and a test for the Lake Washington Velo Circuit Race Series #1. This is the race that Dickson and Westover will focus all of their efforts on. Dickson remarked “I know that I will never be able to repay Steve for his selfless act of coming out of retirement but maybe winning this race will at least help ease that huge burden of mine.”

Dickson and Westover will be riding for a great cause at these events with all of the proceeds to buy a separate server for those on the team that want to have PC vs Mac arguments over email.
