Help Send Top Under-23 Rider Robbie Squire To Worlds by Entering To Win Fantastic Prizes

All season 19 year-old Robbie Squire has been sharing his stories with you, now it's time for us to share. On the strength of his amazing finishes throughout the year, Robbie has been selected to compete on the US National Team at the upcoming World Championsihps in Canberra, Australia. Although Robbie is one of the top cross country racers in the country, USA Cycling will not be funding his trip down under.

After hearing that, Riley Siddoway, director of the Tour De Park City, has established an online raffle to help raise money for Squire's trip to Canberra. This is where all of us come in. By following this link, you can enter to win fantastic prizes including a Reynolds Solitude Wheelset, Garmin 605 GPS computer, Rudy Project helmet and glasses combo, or one of 3 nutrition packages including Hammer heed and gel, Sportslegs, and Pro Bars. Each raffle entry costs just five dollars or buy ten entries for just 40 bucks. There is no limit on the number of entries you can buy.
Robbie needs our help!

All proceeds from the online raffle go directly to help fund Robbie Squire's trip to the World Championships in Canberra, Australia. At the start of the 2009 season, Robbie was told it was unlikely he would qualify for the World Championships this season. After all, he was just 19 and this would be his first season racing in the Under-23 category. In order to qualify, USA Cycling told him, he would really have to prove himself on the race course. Well, Robbie has done just that. Squire finished second at the National Championships by just seconds and has consistently produced top finishes on the US and World Cup circuit this season, capping it off by finishing 13th at the US Cup finals in Windham, New York.

Now that Robbie has done his part, it's time for all of us to do ours. So follow this link, enter the prize raffle and help send one of America's best young riders to the World Championships!

Winners of the prize raffle will be randomly drawn from the list of entrants on Tuesday, September 8th. We would like to give special thanks to Riley Siddoway and the Tour De Park City for creating the online raffle and donating the prizes. The Tour De Park City is an annual road bike race held in Park City, Utah. Race lengths of 50, 100, and 170 miles are offered as riders are treated to the best road riding Utah has to offer.
