Sponsor Local Ride Racing

The Local Ride Racing Team (LRR), fresh off a successful 2008 racing season, are seeking sponsors as they plan their leap to the next level of competitive cycling in 2009. Since the team’s debut in 2006, the squad’s racers have achieved a high profile in the community and on the race circuit. The roster has expanded to include an elite women’s road team headed by Laura Brown, current National Team Pursuit Champion and Canadian record holder on the track. These inspiring women will be competitive at BC Cups and leading cycling events throughout North America. Supporting these local teams is a great marketing opportunity for businesses in the community, as the enthusiastic and dedicated team members will be sure to showcase your business at the province’s premier cycling events, including the Tour de Gastown, which attracted nearly 40,000 spectators in 2008.
