Send our Jr. CX racers to Nationals

Donation protected
The Breadwinner CX team is an Oregon based elite CX team who are working with two 16 year old racers this season. Donovan Birky is from Bend, OR. and Brian Hart Jr. is from Washugal, WA. Both are very talented young riders and great people on and off the bike. 


We need to raise money to send our two juniors racers to CX nationals in Asheville, NC. in early January 2016. 

The money we receive will go towards travel expenses, race entries,  lodging and food at CX Nationals. 

We would like to have all the funds by early to mid December to pay for tickets and housing. 


Helping to get these two talented young racers to nationals has been the focus of our whole CX season. For the first time in over 20 years, it feels so good to be able to help 2 great young racers help to acheive their goals of racing against some of the US's best racers at Nationals. This is a great oppurtunity for these kids to race cyclo-cross. 

 
The bike racing and cycling world is a tight knit group of people and by passing the hat to help Donovan and Brian get to this big race, you are helping to create lifelong memories in these two young cyclists. Even $20 will help us acheive our goal. 

We are super grateful to have a handful of sponsors this year to help with gear, equipment, kit and even coffee but we need some money to get Donovan and Brian to Nationals. They both have bikes built by Breadwinner Cycles and United Bicycle Institute for pit bikes, carbon wheels by HiFi and Sugar Wheelworks, hubs, bottom brackets and headsets by Chris King Components,  racing and training kit by Castelli, racing tires provided by Challenge handmade tires. Portland Design Works, Water Ave coffee and Rawdacious provide support while Chris Bagg Coaching Group provides the training and preparation for this big race. 

Already this season these two young riders have been racing against elite and pro riders every weekend and they have progressed to the top 20 against Oregon's top professional and elite racers. Leading up to Nationals we will be racing a handful of USAC races in Washington and Idaho to prepare for the big race in Asheville, NC. in Janurary. 

This CX season has been a huge deal for me personally because of working with these two young racers. Every time I see them warming up before a race or just being 16 year olds, it reminds me how I felt as a junior racer in the mid 90's and I am overwhelmed with a sense of purpose to help them acheive their goals as bike racers and cyclists. I take our role as title sponsor seriously but it is often second to offering these two great kids any guidance they might need to be the best people they can be. Please help out with a donation to help us get Donovan and Brian to CX Nationals.

Thank you!
