The Devil Went Down To Georgia

And she was looking for a soul to steal! She was willing to make a deal. Watching from afar for the past year she knew her target. A young man riding a 26 was in need of big wheels. Vassago showed it's true form and took hold...quietly she sat ready to ink the deal as races and locations where bounced back and forth...the young man feeling the overwhelming power of the 29s sitting in eye sight signed as she grinned ear to ear.

Please welcome to the Vassago Team:

Eddie O'Dea

Eddie has worked hard to build a name in the mountain bike industry. Eddie started his endurance career approximately seven years ago. His first season included 1st place spots on the podium and by 2005 Eddie was riding for Kona. He went on to win multiple 12 hour and 24 hour races, as well as, National races with podium placements for the next three seasons with Kona.

Eddie also directs two of the biggest races in the Southeast - Burn 24 hour and Fools Gold MTB race and festival. These events have taken off and become a major playing race on most endurance calendars. Fools Gold has been listed in Mountain Bike Magazine as one of the top five races this August 07 and in Bicycling Magazine's November 07 issue.
