Q: What does my membership include?

A: Membership includes all partner discounts, educational calls, event meet ups with the team and communication. PLUS you get credit to purchase Champion System team apparel.

Q: What does a team house mean at events?

A: A team house is a central meeting location for the team. There will be rooms available at a discounted rate for each event. We will also have BBQ dinners, coffee rides and VIP treatments at the events.

Q: Will there be any local events that I can join my team at?

A: YES! We are working to have local events become part of the schedule. We realize that although National level events are fun they are not always everyone's choice. Grassroots are where gravel started. Let's support them also!

Q: Am I supposed to commit a certain amount of time to this team?

A: There are no expectations regarding your time commitments or how you need to be involved. You can be as deeply or lightly engaged as you like. If you are busy and just want to check in sporadically, that is great, too!

Q: I am new to gravel and don't know if I even know the right questions to ask.

A: We all started out somewhere. Crystal, your team and partner brands will meet you where you are at on your journey. The teams are for YOU!

Q: I use products from or ride a bike brand that are competitors of the teams' sponsors. Will that be a problem?

A: No. Of course, our sponsors would love for you to consider their products. But more so, they are here to support you. What you choose for equipment is entirely up to you.

Q: What does it mean to be on this team?

A: Our team means belonging to a group of individuals who come together to pursue their passion for cycling. Your team experience may involve training together if you choose, participating in an event together, or simply joining together on our team facebook page. What you put into the team is completely up to you.

Q: How will the team communicate with each other?

A: The primary form of communication will be through facebook and weekly emails. Our partner brands also join us online, each brand having a space where you can easily research the brands, watch videos, chat with teammates, and not have to search your emails for all of the information.

Q: What makes this team different?

"When I came to cycling it did not take me long to find that the elite rider had a variety of opportunities, but the back of the pack were the least spoken to group. It is my mission to change that. I know that you are here, working hard and wanting to be part of the community. " -Crystal

These teams don't intend to replace anything you are currently doing. We want to enhance your cycling experience. The team is open to EVERYONE with no expectation of time, performance, or ability level.

The team will have the entry level riders to the pointy end of national-level events. The teams will support each other online and in person.

Q: What does it mean to have sponsors?

A: The teams are supported by our sponsors. We are presented by Champion System and Powered by The Feed. The team has a list of "who's who" of sponsors in the gravel industry. It is much more than just offering the team discounts. The partner brands will support you at events, host educational calls, give you one-on-one help if needed and offer discounts. In some cases, when new products are released, you will also have access to those products before the public.

New in 2025 we will also be hosting VIP experiences at major events. Join us as we meet our partners, talk with them at the expo and then all join together for a BBQ at the team house.

Join us for what will be a change in 2025!
