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.

Max Muscle Sports Nutrition of Boulder is Helping

Boulder, Colo.
(November 12, 2012) — In any sport, good nutrition is a key to
success. No one knows that better than cyclists. With the ever-present controversy
around doping and cycling, riders are looking for ways to get that edge through
advanced nutrition practices and supplements instead of banned substances.
Max Muscle Sports Nutrition in Boulder is an expert in sports nutrition and they
understand endurance sports like cycling. As a partner with the mix1 Masters
Cycling Team, the Max Muscle staff of certified sports nutritionists works to educate
the team’s riders on everything from fueling and recovery, the best products for
individual needs, meal planning and more.

“The more we learn about good nutrition, the more our guys appreciate our
partnership with Max Muscle,” says CJ Gauss, director of the mix1 35-plus team. The
mix1 team is comprised of 25 riders age 35 to 60-plus who race in three age groups:
35+, 45+ and 55+. They are professionals—architects, finance advisers, attorneys,
doctors—and many are dads with little kids.

“We are busy men who love cycling and compete at a very high level, so it’s
important that we take care of ourselves,” says Gauss. “We had some riders who
used to be cheeseburger and Coke guys, but after they sat through some of Max
Muscle’s nutrition seminars, they’ve been making adjustments to eat better and try
some supplements and they’ve really excelled with help from the Max Muscle staff.”
These adjustments translated to big results this season. The team took such good
care of themselves and trained well enough that they won the overall state
competition in
all three masters categories for 2012—this has never been done
before!

“It’s been great seeing the mix1 guys do so well this past season! We’re thrilled to
have been part of the equation of their success by assisting with performance
nutrition as the team’s nutrition partner” says Max Muscle Sports Nutrition Boulder
owner Craig David. “We’re all getting older, but it’s never too late to make changes
to your nutrition to achieve results and the mix1 team is a great example of that.”
