In case you missed the big news, the Cycling House has started a team! We think we have a pretty cool kit design this year and want to see as many people in it as possible. Beyond the glamour aspect of Team TCH, though, we enjoy having a group of people to run and ride with. There is something motivating about knowing you have a group of friends checking up on you. Whether you’re able to train with us in Missoula every week, can catch a week in Tucson or Solvang, or never see anyone associated with the Cycling House, we encourage you to join the team for 2014. Here’s some reasons why:
1. You get a free pair of socks.
2. Being on a team helps with training accountability and motivation.
3. You get a big discount on the best looking kit in the country.
4. You are able to receive random prizes for posting workouts on Strava.
5. You are can receive 20% off bikes and wheels from the Cycling House.
6. Podium finishes (with pictures!) can earn you random prizes.
How it works:
To sign up for the team visit this webpage and fill out the form. We want to hear about what gets you fired up, what you have on the calendar, and a couple big events you’ve done in the past. You can sign up for the cycling team, running team, or both. We have great kit options for both disciplines.
After you have filled out the form, you’re on the team. That’s it! No tryouts, no benchwarming. We will post race results, random contests and prizes, and group ride/run information on our Strava and Facebook pages so be sure to join those.
Here’s a selection of events on the team TCH calendar (where team members will be competing) for 2015:
Montana Hell Ride
Sea Otter Classic
Rocky Mountain Roubaix
Mt Taylor Winter Quadrathlon
RATPOD (Ride Around the Pintler in one Day)
Bighorn 100
Wild West Cyclocross Series

If you show up to any of these races, and many others, you will see the TCH kit! We’d love for you to join our team and represent the Cycling House in your favorite race. If you have any questions call Shaun or Forrest at 406-219-1318.
