Dear OBRA,

We wanted to share with OBRA that Emerald Velo is pleased to announce our new sponsors for 2013-14 racing season. For the next two seasons we will be racing as Illy Coffee-River City Bicycles.

Illy, based in Trieste, Italy, is the world’s finest maker of coffee, and we are honored to be the first sports team to represent this iconic brand. Sapori Fine Flavors is our direct sponsor and is a family-owned business in Lake Oswego that works with restaurants and cafes from Oregon to Alaska.

We are also proud to continue our long-running relationship with River City Bicycles. Dave Guettler and his crew run the best bike shop in town.

Our friends at Castelli have a killer team kit in the works that will. (Check out www.emeraldvelo.org for a sneak peek!)

Emerald Velo will be celebrating its 30th anniversary next season. Since 1983, EVC has been one of the leading teams in Oregon bicycle racing. Our members have gone on to race at the professional level and to represent the USA in international competitions.

We are always eager to welcome new members, so please email me at chris.bright.pdx@gmail.com if you are interested in learning more about us or joining us for a team ride. You can check out our new web site at http://www.emeraldvelo.org/ and follow us on Facebook at www.facebook.com/emeraldvelocycling.
