March 10: 25th Annual Solvang Century The Toyota-United Pro Cycling Team was proud to be a part of the 25th annual Solvang Century. The ride is a fundraiser for Specialized Coronary Outpatient Rehabilitation (SCOR), a recreational bike club that promotes cycling as a method of rehabilitative therapy for heart-related conditions. This was the first of several charity events Toyota-United will participate in this year.
