Kelli Jones (center) is hard to miss with her 5'10"Kelli Jones is a good friend to many in the So Cal peleton and will be joining the SBW Pro women for the 2008 season. Kelli's strength on the bike, goals of riding at the national level, and her team dynamics made a perfect fit with the pro women's team.
Kelli is an accomplished person all around. Kelli swam in college, started riding in 2006 as a Cat 4, and won a National Championship jersey for the 30-34 time trial in 2007. Kelli rides full time while being a full-time Paralegal in the District Attorney's Office in San Diego. Kelli is currently a Cat 2 on the road and track and in 2007 won (3) SCNCA Championship titles in 2007 including the state crit title, (2) CBR State titles, and the U.S National Master TT Championship (30-34).
Neva Day recounted her most memorable Kelli Jones moment: "Kelli and I started together as Cat 4's in 2006. She rode for Paramount and I was SBW. I had a slow leak in my rear tire and bad legs at San Marcos and was OTB. It looked pretty dismal until I heard a voice behind me say "get on" and literally a freight train of Kelli Jones was motoring up behind me. She dragged me around that course for at least 3 laps so I could finish and said it was payback for the work I had done all season. I knew from that race that Kelli was not only a powerhouse but a person that you could count on. " Day added, "Her win at National's last year was really incredible, she just keeps getting faster and faster in her TT."
