Since December 2014, I've been a member of Northern Colorado Grassroots Riders (NCGR), a grassroots recreational and racing mountain bike team based out of Fort Collins, Colorado. Member benefits include discounts and other perks from Niner Bikes, Primal Wear, Alpine Dental Health, Social, Akinz, Nick's Italian, Colorado Landscapes, Wright Environmental Services, ReZults Personal Fitness, Hines Inc., and Long Building Technologies Inc.
Beyond the generous businesses that support NCGR, I've received discounts, donations, and advice from a growing list of mostly grassroots, community-minded businesses in Colorado and Utah. Most recently (August 2020), Bedrock Bags, a Durango-based company that expertly handcrafts their suite of bike touring bags, and Carborocket, a Salt Lake City-based company that redefined endurance fuel, both substantially reduced my costs when buying their products which I rely on every day I'm on the bike, which is pretty-much every day.
The very best physical therapy and sports medicine clinic on the Front Range, Integrative Physiotherapy, has supported me with therapies and advice since even before I started racing, when I was still getting banged-up on a soccer pitch.
A gifted massage therapist and former professional athlete, Aggie Holer (LMT) from Beyond Horizon Massage Therapy was my primary massage outlet until I recently moved to Durango but I still visit her for body work whenever I visit Fort Collins.
A studio that exemplifies the very best in yoga diversity, instruction, and community, Yoga Pod Fort Collins never hesitated, when I was a Fort Collins resident, to lesson my financial burden so that I could get the most out of their exceptional studio and instructors.
I'm also indebted to two exceptional Fort Collins bike shops, Road34 and Brave New Wheel for advice and wrenching expertise that they've provided over the years as well as many discounts.
Elsewhere in Colorado, I've confidently relied on the expertise at Subculture Cyclery in Salida whenever training or racing in the Arkansas Valley. And most recently, I've begun to develop a relationship with 2nd Avenue Sports in Durango and so far they've been all around exceptional including some 10% and deeper discounts thrown in.
