Thank You Riders Discount

When Riders Discount approached me last year regarding sponsorship, it was during a transition period for our team, leaving a complex and often-dramatic relationship I had been in.  Glad to be away from the unnecessary headaches, I wasn't looking for a "replacement" partner, but we came to a nice arrangement and it worked out well for the both of us.  They have always had a strong presence in the community and a great team – arguably the best in the industry.

Heading into this year, negotiations were delayed until March where we couldn't come to an agreement for the upcoming season.  Unfortunately the timing was such that I had get moving with our program and other partners involved, so while I was excited to grow the relationship with Riders Discount in the upcoming season, we simply weren't able to make it work.

I have enjoyed working with Riders Discount and am very appreciative for their season of support.  Who knows, maybe our paths will cross again in the future.  Our road racing community is a tight-knit one.

Cheers.
