Big View Cycling

New Title Sponsor for 2011

2010-11-14T12:25:00.000-08:00

I have some great news to share. For 2011 Presbyterian Sports Medicine has come on as team title sponsor. Even better, we are receiving continued support from the Stratos Restaurant group, continuing and deepening the relationship we have with Big View Diner!

Stratos Restaurant will also be supporting us via sponsorship from Big View Diner, Ilios Noche and Nolen Kitchen.

We are also receiving continued support from Bicycle Sport in 2011. I am excited about how the team is coming together. Another great piece of news, we are taking a step up the line of Sugoi’s clothing into their premium custom line.

I’m thrilled about the new and continued sponsorship we are receiving for 2011.

Welcome to the Presbyterian Sports Medicine Cycling Team!

Fast and highly technical the Salisbury NC Crit championship was a great race.

High Point

2010-06-01T06:49:00.000-07:00

Great weekend of racing out at High Point. This is the first year for the event and I am sure it is going to grow to be a huge event on the Carolina calendar if not on the national calendar for racing.

Mark and Ben held it down in the CAT 3 race for Big View Cycling in what was a very fast and difficult criterium. At the end of the day a break went away with 3 people in it so it came down to a field sprint for 4th.

I raced the CAT 4/5 combined 35 plus looking to stay in for the duration and see how the form is coming leading up to the state crit championships June 12th. The pace was pretty high averaging 40kph on a six turn course. Each lap of the .7 mile course brought us back under the giant glass and steel structure that makes up a transit terminal. It is open air and there was a band playing and the crowds were out actually cheering us on, which is pretty impressive for a 4/5 event.

It's race season!

Cari Higgins sporting the kit in Beijing

2010-01-23T20:15:00.000-08:00

Cari Higgins is friends with our title sponsor Stratos and was gracious enough to sport a Big View kit in Beijing. Cari was in Beijing competing at a world cup event.

Now I just need to figure out how to get Cari to put on a clinic for us next time she is in Charlotte!

Thanks for the great photo.

What it's all about

The Big View Diner Cycling Team

The key components;

1. Participation

2. Accountability of actions

3. Feedback and development

4. Reaching out to the greater community

5. Organization

6. Selflessness

In order to ensure a team is built of people we would rest our reputation on new members must be “sponsored” by an existing team member. The sponsor vouches for that person and takes responsibility for their actions both in training and racing.

The team has a component of community service not necessarily tied to cycling six times a year. Yes, it is required to help out at a race, but we are also involved with the greater community. It could be a habitat project or as simple as wearing a team shirt while volunteering at your neighborhood clean-up. It could be cycling related, but not required.

Finally, a requirement of participation through racing and training. As we are all busy if the team requirements for training and racing as laid out can't be met, there are alternate ways to contribute in a meaningful way to the team that would suffice for participation.

Here is the guideline;

The team has four designated training rides each week. Sunday Spamerton, Saturday, former Bike Sport South, Tuesday Orr Road, Thursday former Bike Sport South. Team members would be expected to make a minimum of one of the weekly rides a solid majority of weeks.

Team members should expect to work with others in an encouraging, selfless environment.

There are twelve or so designated races per year on the team calendar where team members are committed participants of seven of the races.

The goal of these requirements is to ensure we are building a true team. Team members will have pro deal discounts on team gear.
