It’s official: Team RadioShack to Ride Trek Bicycles Throughout 2010 Season

Trek Bicycle confirmed today that it will be the official bike sponsor of the 2010 RadioShack Pro Cycling Team, continuing its relationship with Team Director Johan Bruyneel, 7-time Tour de France champion Lance Armstrong, and 11 other notable riders of the 2009 Astana Team.

“We are excited to fuel the success of our friends at Team RadioShack by providing the most technologically advanced bicycles and components in the world,” noted Trek’s Director of Marketing, Dean Gore. “Our sponsorship of professional athletes has consistently pushed Trek to innovate and produce products which perform at the absolute highest level, and we look forward to continuing these fruitful relationships.”

Trek and Team RadioShack held their first official meetings at a team camp in Tucson, Arizona December 7-12. While at camp, Team RadioShack riders were outfitted with 2010 Trek bicycles and Bontrager gear.

For their training and race rigs, riders received custom-fitted 2010 Trek Madone bicycles. As the latest in a line of bikes that have won 9 of the last 10 Tours de France, the 2010 Trek Madone represents the culmination of over 30 years of bicycle innovation, technology, and refinement.   Team Shack riders will also receive Trek’s Prototype 2011 Speed Concept bicycles before gearing up for the Tour Down Under in January.

 The Jingle Bell Ride, scheduled for Saturday, November 28th at 9:30am, is an eighteen mile, casual, family ride around Jekyll Island.  The one to three hour ride will be held in conjunction with the Jekyll Island Christmas Tree lighting Festival.  The ride is being held to offer a fun family activity, and to promote, not only Jekyll Island, but also the Coastal Georgia Greenway, which when complete, will offer pedalers and hikers paved paths from south in St. Marys, Georgia to a point north of Savannah, Georgia.

Registered participants will receive a high quality long-sleeve T-Shirt decorated with the Jingle Bell Ride and Coastal Georgia Greenway logos.  

Have lunch at Black Beards after the event!
