February 12, 2003 – Hardwood Hills Head Coach, Steve Neal, has just been named as the first ever Canadian member of Joe Friels Ultrafit Associate Coaches. Being involved with a large group of coaches and athletes within the Ultrafit Group, allows Neal to have access to coaching information, which is being used by top athletes throughout North America.

Having access to this type of information will only enhance the current benefits of being a National Cycling Center Head Coach. Steve would like to thank everyone at Hardwood Hills, his athletes and FACT Canada for their continued support in his personal goals as a cycling coach. Neal will continue in his current position at Hardwood Hills as Head Coach.
