Jan. 6, 2011 - PRLog -- Boise, ID, December 9, 2010 – Team Exergy Pro Cycling is focusing on Idaho-made components and services during the coming 2011 professional race season to showcase the depth and importance of cycling in the area.

Idaho companies involved with the team include Power Cordz synthetic fiber bicycle cables, Smith Optics, K-Edge Cycling Solutions, Wobble-Naught Bike Fitting, Hi-Tech Color, and title sponsor Exergy Development Group.
