'Tis the Season!

The Mountain Bike Depot & ‘Cross Supply is proud to announce our partnership with Bob’s Red Mill and Rocky Mountain Bicycles for the creation of the Bob’s Red Mill / Rocky Mountain Bicycles cyclocross race team! The new team will be composed of six area athletes of varying experience levels who will work together to promote the sport of cyclocross as well as the whole grain way.

Bob’s Red Mill Natural Foods, based out of Milwaukie, OR, produces more than 400 products – the old fashioned, all natural way; they are the nation’s leader in stone milling and offer the widest diversity of whole grains found anywhere. A healthy, wholesome diet is a centuries-old training secret, which makes Bob’s Red Mill a natural partner for riders everywhere. Bob’s Red Mill marketing manager Matt Cox is very excited to be a part of the Louisville scene: “All of us at Bob’s Red Mill are thrilled to partner with the cross mavens at Mountain Bike Depot and Rocky Mountain Bicycles in forming such a formidable clique of athletes who are just as fanatical about cyclocross and training with whole grains as we are. Louisville has become a true hotbed of cyclocross culture, and we’re really happy to be a part of it.” Bob’s Red Mill is also a supporter of the U.S. Grand Prix of Cyclocross for the second year in a row, which will again stop in the Derby City on October 24 - 25.

Rocky Mountain Bicycles is a Canadian company that still preaches the hand-built gospel, 27 years later. As a bike company, they've made it their mission to create a high-grade quiver of bikes that meets the needs of the myriad of off-road cyclists out there. To do this, they pay particular attention to innovation, quality, and detail. All Rocky Mountain bikes come with cards that are hand-signed throughout the building process, as well as hand-built wheels signed by their maker, that demonstrate the company's level of commitment to quality. While a bit newer on the cyclocross scene, Rocky Mountain will no doubt have a much stronger presence this year with Canadian National Champion Geoff Kabush riding for Rocky Mountain - Maxxis, as well as mechanic extrordinaire Adam McGrath. Rob Currens of Rocky Mountain said this of their participation in the Bob's Red Mill program: "Rocky Mountain Bicycles is proud to have the BRM 'Cross team on Rocky Mountain Bicycles, and is very enthusiastic about being a part of the burgeoning local cyclocross scene."

The team is excited about bringing new spirit to Ohio Valley cyclocross through competition, race promotion, community events, and more – all of which will also serve as opportunities to share the whole grain gospel with other athletes.
