The Rocket Sports Foundation and Omega Nu, in co-operation with Michael David Vineyards, are announcing the second annual "the Zin Spin" --- a Metric and Half Metric Century benefiting youth cycling and triathlon.

What is the Rocket Sports Foundation ? ----- we are a California Non-Profit Corporation devoted to Junior Race Development (USA Cycling and USA Triathlon) and to Youth Recreation through our successful "Sprocket Rockets" activity curriculum (non-competitive).

Who is Michael-David Vineyards ? Long time cycling supporters, Michael-David Vineyards are premium wine growers. They have hosted the Giro de Vino Wine Rides (last held: 11/2/08) for many years. We are excited to be working with the Phillips family on this new event --- we will be helping them to showcase an entirely new venue --- their amazing new property west of Lodi and near the riparian ecosystem of the Mokelumne River (think Valley Oaks and Vineyards !)
