2021 Press Release
Coming off a pandemic-“ridden” year (no pun intended), the 1st City Cycling Team (FCCT) is optimistic for 2021. First we’d like to recognize and thank our returning sponsors!
• 1st City Mortgage – Mick Occhiato
• proVelo Bikes – Greg Thornton
• Spex Optical – Matt Skrdla
• Elevations Real Estate – Mike Sibbald
• Banner Health-(CardioVascular Institute of Northern Colorado) – Kate Schutze
• The Royster

We’d also like to welcome the addition of our newest sponsor Cuore of Switzerland and are anxiously looking forward to “flexing” our colors on the pave, gravel, and dirt!
Even though we are the largest race team in Northern Colorado by the numbers, the competition begins and ends on race days as we continue to encourage collaboration, participation and volunteerism through hosting events and stewardship for the betterment of our cycling community. We are fortunate to live and ride in a region with multiple teams and individuals who share our vision, while consisting of a wide range of diversity and skillsets.
For 2021, you will see FCCT racing our bikes, participating in group rides, volunteering, and advocating for all cyclists. We have plans to resurrect, support, and assist grassroots racing (City Streets, New Belgium Short Track/Cyclocross, the YGR race series, etc.) and hopefully put a much-loved MTB event back on the calendar (TBA). There is even a rumor that one of the premier cycling events in Northern Colorado will be returning in 2021! (I won’t spill the beans, but it occurs in November at a local brewery so stay tuned for those announcements.)
So if you see one of us on the street, trail, or road, introduce yourself. We look forward to riding, racing, and volunteering with you!
