Team MedPlan is affiliated with Tri Star Cycling and was founded by Kelly A. Bownes and Lissy Cowdery. A special thanks to Stephen Collins Of TriStar for allowing us the opportunity to affiliate with TriStar and for his continued support. Several individuals had an active role in the formation of the team which is comprised of women from Alabama, Georgia and Tennessee.

Lissy Cowdery is the Captain of Team MedPlan and brings a solid foundation of race experience and strategy to the team. Lee Farabaugh of Birmingham, AL was the catalyst in making key introductions to introduce team members that will result in friendships that will last for years to come. Kitty Wickes of Atlanta, GA worked diligently to attract and recruit a solid roster of experienced developmental and club members.

Team MedPlan is extremely grateful to our outstanding sponsors who have given so generously to our team. Our sponsors include: Regions, Buffalo Rock, Tristar Cycling, Tifosi, Feldman & Lehane Attorneys at Law, Brookwood Medical Center, MedPlan Recruiting Inc, Dogs Deserve Better and Gravlee Fitness.

Team MedPlan has a very active roster which includes 15 riders on the racing team, ten category 4 developmental riders and 8 club members. Team MedPlan is a unique women's cycling team with an enthusiastic emphasis on the team dynamic and having fun. We work to help all of our women obtain their cycling goals. Our team members love the sport and actively participate in road, mountain, cyclocross and track events throughout the year.

Look for top podium finishes from this group. The MedPlan participants have been a major factor in the Southeast Womens Racing Series (SEW), local training events, centuries, and races including the elite Athens Twilight Criterium. The team will be racing most weekends this season throughout the Southeast.
