It's a local team. Not sure if they are still active, but I know they were a strong team from the Orange County area a few years back.

Simple Green (aka Cycles Veloce) is a local OC team/club (mostly masters), I raced with them until this last year. I have some brand new clothes, if interested.

Simple Green is actually a national team. There is a large group in the Raleigh, NC area.

Simple Green is actually a brand of cleaning agents manufactured by Sunshine Makers, Inc. :D

It's much more Simple than that. Green is a color.

Yes, but it can also be complex.
The visible green light has a wavelength of about 510 nm.
However there are many, many variations of the colour "green."

That's why we're using the Simple Green.

The Triangle is a roadie-o-rama and has been for many years.

Are they actually connected or do they share a sponsor? Cycles Veloce has been around for years. I rode for their 1-2 team in 1992 and they had been around for a while then. I wonder if Simple Green might sponsor another team in NC. Cycles Veloce is OC not the dirty South.

They are connected.

http://www.cyclesveloce.com/# <-- some of those sponsors are single small businesses in the Raleigh area. (for all I know this could apply to other city areas as well, but I just have experience with North Carolina :))

I seem to recall from my Orange County days that 'Simple Green' has its offices on the NE side of PCH between Huntington Beach and Seal Beach. See if they can tell you where to get one of the jerseys.

Looks like you all got the info correct in the end. Yes the team is still around. Yes the Kit has gone through changes and there are alot of team members. Also a team in NC.

As far as being active ..you might want to might want to check a few of the results from Nationals (Masters) and last week at Sea Otter.

As far as five different people on the squad not riding together....that happens.
