Our sponsor Rocky Mountain Cancer Centers



Our Sponsor: Rocky Mountain Cancer Centers, https://rockymountaincancercenters.com/

Too often we as master bike racers get caught up in our equipment sponsors, who is gives us a discount on gear or some other ego related aspect of our sport. We are fortunate however to have a sponsor that means so much more than that to all of us, our community, our families and friends. 

We have all been touched by cancer if not directly then with someone close to us. The pain, fear of the unknown, learning to live with constant Dr. appointments and often very invasive and expensive treatments can be overwhelming and traumatic not only for the patient but family, friends and care givers.

Speaking from direct experience, my father died from cancer but was a patient at the Boulder Rocky Mountain Cancer Center for many years, I can tell you this group of doctors, their supporting staff and all the people involved made a difference.  They were understanding but direct and honest in their dealings with us. They provided support on an emotional level, with great medicine, kind words and always a smile.

The facility was welcoming and never felt institutional. Drug therapies can be tiresome and make you feel like a pin cushion but somehow the Rocky Mountain Cancer Center in Boulder, with its great windows facing our mountains, good sunlight and a relaxed atmosphere made it all bearable.

While we hope you never have to go through a battle with cancer if you do think of these folks. They have many centers throughout the front range and we can vouch for their expertise and warmth.

We are proud to represent them in our sport and look forward to wearing their colors for many years to come.
