	SPONSORS
	Special thanks to the sponsors of Brooklyn Velo Force!
	Gorilla Coffee Located in Brooklyn, Gorilla Coffee is an independently owned micro-roastery and roasts daily, by hand, in 30 pound batches.  The shop is located in Park Slope at 97 Fifth Avenue and Park Place, especially conveninent for coffee after a race or casual ride in Prospect Park.  Look for the Gorilla on our new racing kits... or visit the Gorilla shop, or find the beans at your local Whole Foods or other grocery!
	Combs & Company A full-service insurance brokerage firm for employee benefits, commercial, life and personal insurance.  Combs and Company particularly serves the hospitality, photography, and creative professions, in addition to cycling teams.  Plus, they are brilliant enough to figure out how to have your health insurance company reimburse you for a gym membership!
	Mavic Manufactured in France, Mavic supplies teams worldwide with the fastest and most reliable wheels available.  Those wheels are especially fast in Brooklyn and anyplace we take them to race.  And Mavic's trademark yellow shoes proudly carry on BVF's own legacy of yellow in addition to being super comfortable "carbon slippers", according to Adam.  When racing at the Valley Preferred Cycling Center Velodrome in Trexlertown, racers ask about the shoes almost every weekend and we can only recommend them.
	SRAM A few BVF members started using SRAM drivetrain components, and now everyone is switching over.  We are genuinely satisfied with the performance and reliability SRAM's entire line of groupsets whether used for the road,  the rigors of cyclocross or mountain biking.
	Scott USA The lightest, stiffest and best-riding bicycles on the market.  Why would we want to ride anything else?
	CycleOps & Saris The bechmark of power meters.  Plus racks, trainers and other accessories.  Saris and CycleOps are key to BVF's training regimen and transporting our equipment to the races.  Ben has been using a PowerTap wheel and head unit throughout 2010 and is now upgraded to CAT2.
	Affinity Cycles We welcome Affinity as one of our sponsors and supporitng BVF with access to training and race events on the velodrome, in addition to mechanical support.  Be sure to check Affinity's website for updates on the race series and stop by the shop.
	Rudy Project Sunglasses, helmets, and accessories.  Rudy Project provides great items for on the bike and off, whether for other sports or casual activities.  BVF has ridden Rudy glasses to regional championships on the road and track.
	DeFeet Socks, armwarmers, kneewarmers and other clothing accessories.  We love the wool clothing items and we have documented evidence that the shoe covers add 1mph of speed, white ones can provide up to 2mph.
	Ritchey Ritchey products are an industry standard for bars, stems, seatposts, saddles, tires and other essential components.  The abuse that BVF Cyclocross bikes dish out are handled with ease by Ritchey.
	NYC Velo A great shop providing Brooklyn Velo Force with service and equipment.  OK, they are not in Brooklyn, but awfully close and well worth a ride over one of the East River's historic bridges.
	718 Cyclery A new start-up in Park Slope, Brooklyn, 718 Cyclery has already been voted as one of the top shops in New York City.  A true shop for bicycle cogniscenti.
	J2 VeloSport All carbon wheels and components.  BVF is putting J2's various parts through the testing wringer as we speak and we continue to be impressed!
	Nalini Nalini provides quality clothing to the highest level professional racing teams.  After sampling the kits manufactured for HTC-Columbia, BVF had to use Nalini as its own clothing supplier.
	ZYM Electrolyte tablets and endurance supplements that help us maintain the competitive edge.
	Selle SMP Unique Italian-made bicycle saddles that are the perfection of comfort and performance.  Look for them on the BVF racing bicycles.
	And of course, thanks to our families, friends, fans, and everyone else who makes the racing possible!
