LAYOUT Jon Watkin PHOTOGRAPHS Greg Descantes - www.descantes.com Introduction Dear Cycling Supporter, THE 2008 SEASON presents the opportunity for Team Aviawest Cycling Team to continue to ride a trend of excellence in racing, a positive impact on the local community, and an effective return on investment for key supporters. Within the world of competition, youth cycling development is gaining importance serving as a springboard for many aspiring professional cyclists. Our cycling team has both benefited and contributed to this growth and during the past year our racers yielded impressive results for the season. These include Canadian National Champion (Male Junior MTB), BC Provincial Road Champ (Male Junior), Silver medal (CAN MTB NATS, Female Junior), and Bronze Medal (CAN Road NATS, Male Junior). Team Aviawest needs your support to fulfill its commitment to developing young athletes. Funds raised in support of Team Aviawest will be used primarily in support of our elite team of young racers and to support our development team of young riders, to offset the cost of team cycling clothing, specialized cycling equipment and expenses to travel to competitions. Support will also be given to enthusiastic young athletes who may not have the financial means to participate otherwise (equipment, travel, entry fees etc.). Many of our young riders have been involved in various junior Canadian National Team Projects and have had the opportunity to compete on a global platform. The upcoming season looks promising as we return three of four riders that went to nationals and are gaining several riders that are in the Elite Category. With these riders along with those developing we will be in top contention for both provincial and national titles. Equalling our successes on the roads of BC and all over the country was our club becoming a non-profit society benefiting young aspiring athletes who dream of competing in Europe and making it to the Olympics or Tour de France. Cycling is steadily becoming a prominent sport in Canada, and as this occurs, the Aviawest Cycling Team is steadily becoming a force to reckon with within the Elite ranks. We appreciate your interest in sponsorship, and welcome you to take a few minutes to look through our sponsorship packet.

Team Kappa has been the premiere woman’s cycling team in Western Canada. It was formed in 2001 to provide opportunities for young women making their transition from junior to senior. The goal of the team was always to grow with the riders, providing the support they need as their careers develop. We have accomplished this beyond our wildest expectations with Team Kappa riders winning World and National Championship titles and representing Canada at the Paralympic Games, Road and Mountain Bike World Championships. TeenSpeed is a Victoria based youth cycling club formed in 2000 that trains and competes year-round in Road Racing, Track Racing and Mountain Biking. TeenSpeed riders have consistently been the top finishers in all levels of racing in BC and in Canada. Many of them have competed as members of the Canadian National Team and BC Provincial Team at international junior races, Western Canada and Canada Games. Some of TeenSpeed’s top riders are finishing their teen years and are now racing at much higher levels of competition. The Aviawest Cycling Club is a club of 30 masters cycling and fitness enthusiasts eager to support and foster the development of young riders and racers. They are “network hubs” in our community and great supporters of the team as community leaders & professionals, former provincial, national team and world champion athletes, and active masters’ athletes. TeenSpeed and Team Kappa were both formed by Steve Lund, a former Canadian National Team Coach who saw a major deficiency in support and quality coaching for young and developing riders. It was Steve’s passion and commitment to helping young riders that saw these programs excel and attract the support of some of Victoria’s top cycling minds. With a much broader management team and many club level volunteers now in place, our goal is to continue to build the program and develop a top level team to support the team’s many talented young riders pursue their goals of racing the highest level of the sport. www.aviawest-rmb.com Vision and Mission Vision Statement • • • By 2009 to achieve UCI Continental Team status and expand our race program to include events throughout North America By the year 2012 we aim to have developed the top North American Trade Team.

Sponsors will be invited to attend these events to witness the action and to also interact with the riders that are representing them. www.aviawest-rmb.com Exposure Sponsoring a cycling team is a unique yet cost effective way to advertise your business. Consider approximately 60 riders wearing the clothing whenever on the bike year-round. In most cases, riders will be training in groups of 15 to 20, providing a great visual impact of group of matching riders. Add exposure of wearing clothing on podium and winning races!! Add media exposure for media, Newspaper, TV, Radio Consider the math: •Riding 150 – 200 days / year…..3-4 hours per day, equals a maximum of approx. 292,000 hours of exposure •To estimate from 20 Cycling Events for the 2007 Calendar, each attracting approximately 3000+ spectators per event = 60,000+ spectators who will see your logo and familiarize themselves with your brand. •Ongoing exposure from wearing clothing. High quality material means clothing will be worn for many years. Compare our cost of that kind of exposure to traditional advertising channels such as print, radio, and TV. We can provide added value market your product by distributing brochures or pamphlets at races and events as well as providing you the opportunity to have prime positioning for our website and to have signage on display for our hosted cycling event in Summer 2007. www.aviawest-rmb.com Winning The most effective way that we can give our sponsors exposure is to win races. This will put the rider, team, and sponsor in the limelight and create a high dollar equivalent in advertising. Winning races ensures coverage by media attending these events, whether it is an article in the newspaper or an interview on television. Sponsor logos will be highly visible during these moments. = www.aviawest-rmb.com Sponsorship Opportunities Gold Level - $20,000 - $25,000 • • • • • • • • Primary display of your company name and logo on team clothing; Jersey, shorts, jacket, Vest, Skinsuit.
