Our Mission
We are an athlete collective committed to pushing the envelope of performance. We partner with top level innovative brands while maintaining the love and passion for all disciplines of cycling. We will also be creating body positive content for the sport of cycling.
Along with the goal of creating USA Elite men’s team, the team will be running two FREE junior development camps to help close the gap from junior to elite cycling.
Goals:
Create an 8 man team which will compete in multiple disciplines (mainly gravel and track) while chasing a spot at the Paris Olympic Games in 2024.
Athletes will have personal goals ranging from 350 mile bike packing races all the way to US Track Nationals and UCI World Championships on the track.
We will be creating a story around gravel racing that brings innovative ideas to the sport such as: aerodynamic gains, nutritional gains/strategies, innovative and strategic training methodologies. By implementing the strategies we hope to dominate the American Gravel circuit.
Mentorship:
Along with the goal of creating USA Elite men’s team, the team will be running two FREE junior development camps to help close the gap from junior to elite cycling.
We want to give junior athletes something to strive for. Currently if you are not making it to the world tour ranks out of the junior ranks it can be hard to find a home where you can develop your skills. This program will be launching a junior team in 2023 which compile of ID found in 2022.
Scholarships:
This year (2021) my heart strings were tugged while in Trexlertown, PA spending the summer racing with some of the best track cyclists in the world. I had the pleasure of meeting some of the local and junior talent. As nationals came and went, 4 junior athletes were selected from TTown to attend Jr. Worlds in Egypt. I didn’t think much of it until I saw each athlete had a GoFund Me asking for about $3,000 a piece. This meant that if these athletes wanted to go to Junior Worlds they needed to fund their trip. It broke my heart as I knew how tough it was funding your way to the event. In that moment, I decided to donate my race winnings from the most recent race of about $600 to these athletes. I spoke with the race promoter to see if he knew anyone who would be interested in matching my donation. Soon enough, word got around to the other elite athletes, and we ended up raising close to $4,000 for these junior riders.
My next thought was, if we can raise almost $4,000 in a night, with some solid planning we can create scholarships to fund these junior athletes at the highest of levels.
