We’re looking for local business team sponsors for the 2025 season. Sponsorships help cover important team needs, like meals on race weekends, banners, signage and other support that keeps our riders going strong.
As a thank-you, sponsors will have their logo displayed on our team trailer and receive other benefits that highlight their support of our athletes.
If you know of a business that might be interested, please share this Sponsor Proposal with them. Every connection helps us build a stronger team experience for our riders!
