Napa Valley Cycling & Wine Harvest Extravaganza, November 7, to Benefit the
American Brain Tumor Association

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 27 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- A group bicycle tour through
Napa Valley featuring a vineyard lunch, wine tasting and VIP tours at the
Alpha Omega Winery, will be held on Saturday, Nov. 7, 2009 beginning at 8 a.m.
to benefit the research and patient-family education and support programs of
the American Brain Tumor Association (ABTA).

Presented by Trevethan Capital Partners, the Cycling & Wine Extravaganza is
the annual fundraising event of the Racing 4 Research (Kovarus/ABTA) cycling
team. Over the past three years, the San Francisco-based club, founded in
support of Tom Tucker who lost his brain tumor battle earlier this year, has
raised nearly $20,000 for the American Brain Tumor Association.

"Tom was an inspiration as a friend and athlete and his example continues to
inspire us," said Peter Bailey, co-founder of Racing 4 Research. "The team, in
addition to Kovarus Technology Solutions and our other generous sponsors, are
committed to amateur racing as a way to raise awareness and funding for brain
tumor research. We are thrilled to be able to hold this event with our
sponsors for the benefit of the ABTA."

"We are extremely grateful to the Racing 4 Research Cycling Team for their
continued commitment to the patients and families who are living with this
devastating disease," said American Brain Tumor Association Executive Director
Elizabeth M. Wilson. "The Racing 4 Research effort in memory of their former
teammate and dear friend, Tom, is an inspiration to all who have been impacted
by a brain tumor."

The event will begin at the Alpha Omega Winery (http://www.aowinery.com/) and
continue through the iconic Pope Valley in Napa. The ride will end back at the
winery in time for a lunch and wine tasting. The ride will total 55 miles and
will be supported. This year's event will also include a raffle for more than
$5,000 in gifts and prizes.

In addition to Trevethan Capital Partners, 2009 event sponsors include Kovarus
Technology Solutions, Brocade, Arrow Enterprise Computing Solutions,
Continental Tires, Oakley, Clif Bar, Studio Velo, and Wilier USA.
