During the February 6th Hyattsville City Council meeting, MABRA cycling club Route 1 Velo and Hyattsville bicycle shop Arrow Bicycle presented a $7,000 check to the Prince George's County Special Olympics. The money was raised at the 2011 Hyattsville CX, a cyclocross race which took place in Magruder Park on October 9, 2011.

Route 1 Velo is very proud of this accomplishment, and appreciate all the support from the area racers and fans that came out. The club is real proud of how the city has embraced the event and that the MABRA community can support such a great cause.
Thanks everyone,
Eric Griffin
President, Route 1 Velo
