Ollerenshaw Agrees To Lead Southeastern Team

UPDATE: (Monday, Jan. 19, 11:50 a.m.): Bikeportland.org has more on this, including some comments from Ollerenshaw.

Former OBRA standout and retired pro Doug Ollerenshaw will lead Team Myogenesis.com, a southeastern regional squad, according to Cyclingnews.com.

Ollerenshaw, who won the 2003 National Collegiate Road Race Championship while riding for the Oregon State University club team, left professional cycling after the 2008 road season to attend graduate school in Atlanta. But he has agreed to mentor young riders while racing with Team Myogenesis this season, according to the team's website.

Ollerenshaw raced professionally with Rock Racing, Health Net and Jelly Belly.
