ADVENTURE SQUAD TEAM

2024

The goal is not necessarily to be super fast or the most pro, but rather to seek adventure, the path less traveled, and celebrate two wheels with friends. 

Mudslinger Events, Sagebrush Cycles and Landspeed's Fix are sponsoring and supporting this group

Look for a way to join up by 9/15/24 through the end of the year. We have room for a dozen or so new riders!

2024 is cranking along for summer!

We love riding and racing bikes and want you to be a part of our group!



Next opportunity Fall 2024 or September!


Congrats to the Adventure Squad for winning the Oregon Triple Crown's best team competition!

Mudslinger Events supports this group of riders from all over the PNW and beyond!


The Adventure squad will be unique in that this "Squad"  has a goal to have both ethnic and gender diversity of 30%. We will not enforce this standard by denying anyone the opportunity to join, but rather encourage anyone looking for adventure to go for a ride!


We seek adventure and the road less traveled! 

Over the 30 years of personal cycling involvement, the participation of women is 15-20 percent at the highest point of the overall cycling population and considering Oregon's demographics people of color are few, but growing population of outdoor enthusiasts. 



Discount is a percentage off for bikes and parts in 2024 including bikes based on availability and per the sponsorship agreement from our two amazing shops


Please email ripleymike1@gmail.com to inquire on joining the Adventure Squad

Group Rides are available to members only*

* Please bring a friend to an adventure Squad ride! One non-member ride is allowed per the insurance requirements. After that ride we hope you will join!
