// Team            

In 2011, Team Belladium includes 9 returning women and 3 new women. The team includes seasoned racers and riders who are new to competitive cycling. With a good mix of abilities, the team can be competitive in all disciplines. The team is directed by Todd Nordmeyer, owner of Endeavor Performance, Tennessee’s first bicycling performance center. Team Belladium’s captains for the 2011 season are Parri Gilbride and Valerie Nagoshiner.

Through competition, example and outreach, Team Belladium actively seeks to raise the profile of women’s cycling at all levels. In 2010, their first racing season, the team’s achievements included: 1st place, Southeastern Women’s Competition; podium sweep, Nashville Criterium Series; 1st and 2nd place, and 5 in the top 10, Tennessee Bicycle Racing Association Series; 2 in the top 10, Southeastern Women’s Competition. Team Belladium invited local women cyclists to join regular training rides and planned “Women and Wine at the Vine,” a unique women’s ride starting from Arrington Vineyards just south of Nashville. The ride attracted over 100 female cyclists, riding at every level.
