PABW is now expanding its focus to national level competition with the goal of developing the next generation of Olympic hopefuls. The team has obtained new sponsorship from several leading Silicon Valley firms to help it achieve its expanded racing program.

Managed by 1996 Bay Area Olympian, Linda Jackson, the team is ready to begin their quest to become a top National level team. "Our immediate goal is to provide the Elite riders with the experience of racing in National Calendar Races, and to provide a rich learning environment for the development riders", Jackson said. "Next season we will be recruiting additional racers to the team to complement our existing roster" she added.
