*** JoeyBradford.com Off To Great Start ***

Monterey, California – 03/24/2006
So far in 2006, GT Bicycles’ 16 Expert Joey Bradford
has picked right back up where he left off in ’05 after
winning his first ABA NAG#1 title last November at the
ABA Grand Nationals in Tulsa, Oklahoma. After, the Grands,
the head honchos at Pacific switched Joey from Mongoose to GT.

Before his GT debut in Reno, Joey switched up tire size and
changed crank length, which gave him some gearing problems.

Reno was a start to the year that Bradford feels wasn’t quite up
to snuff. Of course for Joey, with a second and third in 16 Expert,
anything less than a win is sub-par.

Joey made up for it with a 16 Expert double in Bakersfield
including a great high low pass between Sowers and Woodmansee
to take the lead in Saturday’s 16 Expert main.

A couple years ago, to make things a little more challenging,
Bradford started racing a Mountain Bike in cruiser. Bradford
busted out his brand new GT MTB, powering it to a pair of
thirds for the weekend. Not bad for a bike that’s at least 10
pounds heavier than the competition.

The next weekend was the NBL Boulder Dam National
in Boulder City, Nevada. After battling all day with Warren
McDow and Euro Martijn Scherpen in the UCI Junior Men’s
class on Saturday, Bradford took the lead from start to finish
in the main. Joey also added yet another win in 16 Expert on
Saturday. In Sunday’s 16 Expert main, Bradford tangled with
Joe Sowers in turn one, nearly going over the turn.

Last weekend in Pasco, Washington, Bradford doubled
on Saturday in 16 Expert and 15-16 Open. Bradford claimed
victory in Open again on Sunday but unclipped down the first
straight in his Expert main. He then tangled with Nic Long in
turn one and nearly crashed and the race was out of reach by
then. Here’s a link to Joey’s Saturday class main in Pasco.

Up next for Bradford is NBL Nellis, ABA Phoenix and the
Sea Otter Classic MTB race in his hometown of Monterey,
California. Check out http://www.joeybradford.com for more info!
