FFCC Announces the Kudzu.com Elite U23 Team

Atlanta, GA—Kudzu.com has offered the backing necessary for an elite U23 team under the umbrella of the Fulton Flyers Cycling Club (FFCC). The team continues where the junior development program left off by bringing together a core roster of some of the strongest U23 riders in the southeast. All of the riders have a demonstrated ability to be competitive at top national events.


The team’s younger riders are Joey Rosskopf and Oscar Clark, both of whom finished in the top 10 at junior road nationals in 2007 and were part of the powerful Southeast Regional Tour de l’Abitibi team. Joey also spent part of the season in 2007 riding for the national team while Oscar is fresh off a top 20 finish at the U23 Cyclocross nationals in Kansas City. The team has more experience in Jafer Beizer and Thomas Brown who are both former members of the FFCC junior team. Jafer is the Georgia State Cat 2 RR champion while Thomas earned a top 5 placing at Collegiate Criterium Nationals in 2007.


“I really look forward to working with these guys”, said Jeremy Hutchison-Krupat, Director of the Kudzu.com U23 Team. “I have long been impressed with their talents as individuals, but I have been even more impressed to see the extent to which each of these guys will lay it on the line for one another as team members. Look for great things from these guys!”

The team’s focus is on the southeast regional Pro-1-2 races as well as a number of National Calendar events.

What's fast, growing, and everywhere?

What exactly is Kudzu? Well, if you are from the south you'd probably say that it grows everywhere on everything and is nearly impossible to stop (just like our team). For those of you that haven't had the pleasure of experiencing kudzu, this literally happened overnight.

The plant is native to Southern Japan and China but was brought to the Southern United States to help prevent soil erosion and has continued to grow almost exponentially. For a full kudzu history lesson click here .

Now that you know so much about Kudzu and the south, you can appreciate Kudzu.com, an online business directory that incorporates customer reviews. It is part of the Cox Enterprises family and title sponsor of the Atlanta based Kudzu.com U23 team. So the next time you are searching for a local business give Kudzu.com a try!
