This from our friend Ann Pounds at Welcome Neighbor in Pennsylvania.

” What a nice surprise we had at the Iron Hill Criterium last Saturday night to see the groSolar tent and these great guys preparing for the race. They were really nice and very appreciative that you are sponsoring them.”

The MetLife Cycling Team Powered by groSolar has started their 2010 racing season with the Tour of the Battenkill in New York and the Turtle Pond Circuit Race in New Hampshire. groSolar is sponsoring the team for the season which covers more than 40 events around the country.

As groSolar’s CEO, Jeff Wolfe, said,”We’re proud to sponsor the MetLife team and we believe they are excellent ambassadors for groSolar’s message – that solar power is a lifestyle choice with a global impact. In the race to save the planet, we are determined to install solar on as many rooftops as possible. The MetLife team is exceptional group of athletes committed to practicing and promoting sustainable living, encouraging healthy ideals while racing at an elite level. It’s a great fit for groSolar, and we hope that cycling fans will take note and adopt clean, sustainable energy practices as well.”
