Join Us!
Racing at this level is a huge undertaking. In addition to the training and time commitments on the part of the riders, high level racing requires behind-the-scenes support from others, a great deal of equipment, and significant costs in licensing, travel, team registration, and entry fees. Any contributions will go directly to supporting our riders, allowing them to focus on the competition.
If you are interested in joining us as a sponsor (big or small!) please, drop us a message through the contact form for a more formal sponsor information pack. This is a brilliant opportunity for bicycle-related and non-related companies alike to receive advertising and exposure through social media and journalistic coverage in connection with a unique cycling team project. Every little piece of support helps, in any form!
