Hi Y'all,
If you don't know me by now, my name is Adam. I am currently living in North Carolina, formerly of Morgan Hill, California. Before I lost my job, I had started the initial phases of building a grassroots team with my former employer and some other great companies within and outside of the industry. So I guess you could say I'm the Team Manager of Team TOMS Shoes/SpecializedRiders.com. After being involved with BF for a few months, I've learned that there are some good guys, and girls, here that would make perfect teammates and I would like to tell you a little more about my team.
Team TOMS is a grassroots cycling team in the US, and our goal is to spread the TOMS Shoes message: to provide shoes for people going barefoot around the world! One for One. For every pair you purchase, a pair is donated on your behalf. TOMS Shoes has donated thousands of shoes across the globe since their inception only a couple years ago. We've partnered with the Specialized Riders club at SpecializedRiders.com, a unique cycling based social networking community that connects riders in order to help spread the word. Specialized bikes, helmets, optics and cycling shoes will help us on our way to topping podiums around the country. NuuN Active Hydration and their calorie and carb free electrolyte tablets help keep us hydrated on training rides and races year round! While TOMS has our feet covered, Champion Systems Custom Cycling Wear is our jersey provider. With their talented design team and their wide range of cycling apparel, low minimums and costs will keep Team TOMS riders comfortable all season long no matter the time of year or temperature!
Presently, we have regional managers in Northern California, Texas, North Carolina and Western New York. We are a diverse group of Cat1s-Cat5s. Single Speed cross racers to mass start trackies-and everything in beween. We are looking for all kinds of riders, serious racers to fledgling newbies. Mainly, we are looking for people that want to do a little bit more while riding their bike, spreading the TOMS Shoes message, with the hopes to make the world just a little bit better for people less fortunate than we are.
So if you are team-less or looking to do something new, check out our blog (newly started): http://teamtomsshoes.blogspot.com/ go ahead and check out http://tomsshoes.com/ while you're at it. If you have any questions or you would just like to learn more, please don't hesitate to drop me a line at: TeamTOMS@ymail.com
If you'd like to be considerred as a member of the team please answer some of the questions below, and send a picture along as well so we can get to know you a bit more.
Thanks for reading!
