July 30, 2004 – The Jet Fuel Coffee team is sending four riders to race on the street of New York at this Sunday’s 3rd annual BMC Software NYC Cycling Challenge. The course is a challenging downtown criterium in the heart of the financial district with the riders racing for 100km.

The race is shown live on the New York ABC affiliate (WABC) with three hours of coverage. It will also be shown on OLN in the US on Saturday, August 3. Over 100,000 people are expected to attend the race according to the race organization. The event is part of the USPro Cycling Tour and the race has $40,000USD in prize money.

Jet Fuel’s team includes Andrew Randell who’s looking to improve on his 7th place finish from last year. Josh Hall will also be making the trip after placing in the top 25 at the 2002 event. Buck Miller and Jeff Hansen will also be taking the flight down. The riders fly into New York on Saturday and return on Sunday which helps saves the legs for the race and makes for a quick recovery for next weekend’s Montreal-Quebec event.

Matt Hansen, Ryan Roth and Thorben Wieditz will be preparing for Montreal-Quebec with the Peterborough and Warkworth events this weekend.
