A nine year veteran of professional cycling, Barb Howe – affectionately known as Barbarella – was one of the most recognizable personalities of the U.S. cyclocross scene. In only her second year within the pro cyclocross ranks in 2005, she earned a nomination to the USA National Team and represented the United States at Cyclocross World Championships in St. Wendel, Germany. Since then, she has excelled in road racing and mountain biking as well, posting top finishes in every discipline at national and international events.
Barb entered the 2010-11 cyclocross season as a reigning Masters National Champion, winning the Women's 30-34 age group in Bend, Oregon in late 2009. With ongoing support from Ibis Cycles, SRAM and Lazer Sport, and support from her new sponsors American Classic, Blackbottoms Cyclewear, FMB tires and Crank Brothers, Barb competed in a diverse array of events.
