Our Goal

To develop a team united by our shared passion for cycling, while pushing our boundaries, embracing challenges, and recognizing the individual goals and commitments of our team members.

To proudly represent The Last Drop at local races, working together to put a TLD jersey on the podium at each event we participate in, whether it be a fondo, road, crit, cyclocross, gravel or mountain bike race.

Our teamwork is our strength. It’s easier to push forward when your tribe has your back.
