Introduction

Big Wheel Racing is a multi-sport racing team. We participate in all types of bicycle events: mountain, road, cyclocross, and triathlons, and a few select adventure races. Team members participate in United States of America Cycling (USAC) National, State, and local races in all disciplines; National Ironman Triathlons; New Mexico Off-Road Series (NMORS); New Mexico Road Series; Mountain Bike Association of Arizona XC Race Series; California Triple Crown Road Endurance Events; local and nationwide 12-hr, 24-hr, and 100-mile endurance events: and many off road races in Europe. We have members in Arizona, California, Colorado, New Mexico, Oregon, and Germany. We compete nationwide and locally. Big Wheel Racing is a USAC Club (pending). A majority of the team competes on singlespeed bicycles, in off-road and road events.

Big Wheel Racing members also contribute to local cycling and multiuse trail advocacy efforts and we plan to continue to participate in local, regional, and national, mountain biking races, rides, events, and festivals. One member heads local trail work, as the Northern New Mexico IMBA Representative. One member is a licensed USAC Official. We seek to maintain and also create new partnerships with sponsors who share our interests. The following pages will provide you, a potential Big Wheel Racing Sponsor, with information on the team, its members, and what we seek from sponsors.

Objective: Big Wheel Racing wishes to continue development of our team and through active promotion of the group, our principles and activities, and by wearing team racing apparel not only at races and events, but also when training. In addition, Big Wheel Racing seeks sponsors to help our team racers by purchasing ad space on the clothing and our website to help offset the high costs of racing.

The ads can be placed on the team clothing apparel, at a location agreed upon with the sponsor for a small fee ($300 to $700, with the price based on placement). Sponsorship can also come in the form of pro discounts or promotions offered from a company to the members of the group. These types of sponsorships are primarily from national biking, apparel, and nutritional companies, or local service suppliers.

In addition, Big Wheel Racing requests that products, coupons for discounts, or other enticements be donated to our team in order to help promote the sponsors business and products. We leave it up to the creative imagination of the sponsor to indicate what they wish to provide. We will perform product reviews and promote the products on our website and individual blogs.
