RTR & PTP Team Program Kick Off
Save the Date: Friday, January 11th, 2018 6pm MST
Teams are important part of both RTR & PTP. Teams vary in size from 4 people to over 60 people. They are nonprofits, families, friends, and companies. They come from all over the US and other countries. The one thing that they all have in common is that they love riding their bikes together! We know how hard it is to organize a group so we appreciate the tremendous effort it takes to get a team to the starting line of a multi-day tour.
On Friday, January 11th at Meier Skis we are hosting a Team Program Kick-Off. We will be doing some Team Appreciation for 2018 Teams and rolling out the 2019 Team Program for both events. This event is open to everyone even if you are not on a team. Come learn what is happening with Teams and have some fun in the process.
