Welcome to Rogues Racing
Welcome to Rogues Racing, Blacksburg’s only non-collegiate cycling team.
Mission: The mission of Rogues Racing is 1) racing to achieve top results by giving the elite racers the support they need to train and race, 2) to give novice racers the experience and coaching to develop the skills and fitness to reach the elite level and 3) is to promote racing and performance cycling in Blacksburg and the surrounding areas.
Rogues Racing is primarily a road racing team, however many riders compete in cyclocross racing after the end of the road season. We also have a healthy number of mountain bike riders and some racers.
Racing takes a lot of training. Therefore, in addition to individual training, Rogues Racing takes part in three weekly rides: Saturday, Sunday and Wednesday. Additional rides and information are posted on the Rogues Racing listserv.
Our focus is primarily racing, but we still make time to support cycling in our area. Each year we host a local race weekend, assist the VA Tech cycling team in putting on a race weekend, a fall cyclocross race, and work the NRVBA to run the Burke’s Garden Century ride in late August.
Please check out our Join page if you are interested in racing or supporting racing. Whether you’re a seasoned racer or a recreational rider that wants to take cycling to the next level, you’ll have place on our team.
Rogues Racing also supports local businesses with advertising opportunities via our sponsorship program. Please check out our Sponsorship page to see a list of our current sponsors and information on our sponsorship program.
Sponsorship
Rogues Racing has various sponsors that help out with our racing. In exchange, we provide them with advertising via logos on our website, jerseys, fliers or other creative ways based on needs.
Sponsorship has many forms whether it be donation for a prime in a criterium, team discounts or a few bucks to help with race entries, sponsorship is appreciated from every person in the team.
Next time you see someone in a Rogues jersey go by, check out their jersey. Every one of these sponsors in on there, you could be too!!! Just think, each of our riders is on the road an average of five days a week, for around ten hours; in addition to the many races we participate in. This is 10 hours a week per person, plus races, wearing our jerseys with YOUR logo on them. Think of YOUR advertising opportunities…
The Rogues try to make sure everyone knows how generous each and every one of the folks has been. We do not limit our sponsors to cycling related businesses. We look forward to working with any company that looks to advertise in a sport that requires dedication, strong training, the proper equipment, and the time and wherewithal to compete.
Rogues Racing currently has advertising opportunities for our summer race weekend and will soon be starting our 2010 sponsorship drive. If you are interested in partnering with Rogues Racing, please contact our sponsorship chair, Brian Meadowcroft at vmi2uscg@yahoo.com.
