About

From this site you can see our roster (below), find race reports, results, images and all the goings-on of our TAI riders. We have riders in Bend and Portland who race throughout the Northwest on a year-round basis. Check out some of our 2007 Riders’ Bios.

Our Development Team consists of category 3 and 4 riders who are interested in learning how to race with team tactics, joining fun group rides and getting some extra help with their upgrades. By creating race plans, we’ve had really great success getting certain riders on the podium so they can earn their upgrade points. Our Elite Team consists of category 1 and 2 riders who are interested in helping the Development Team riders with their skills while still managing to earn some wins of their own in the meantime.

Our 2008 Elite team is shaping up nicely and we’re looking forward to a great year in the big races! If you’re interested in riding for TAI Cycling, please contact us in August, as we make our team selections in September.

TAI Cycling was started by Bill Warburton and Spencer Newell in Bend, OR, as a local shop team in 2003. We have since grown into a regional team with riders in Bend and Portland. Our goal for the team is to attract good people who also happen to be good cyclists. We want to promote cycling as an integral part of life for people in our communities throughout Oregon. Many of our riders are coaches for various junior programs including cycling, skiing and snowboarding, because we understand the future of our sport lies in education and giving crucial positive experiences to youth. We have mandatory volunteer hours for our riders which are spent helping with community events, bike races and other charity benefits.
