Mission
Mountain Flyer will showcase the riders, racers, events, and culture
of rocky mountain cycling. Covering cross-country, downhill,
cyclocross, road racing, and adventure riding. Our ultimate goal is to be an information resource for cyclists and a marketing tool for
the business' and manufacturers who serve them.

Details
Cycling events are the driving force behind the growth of our sport.
Participation is high at regional events, including the Mountain
States Cup, 24-hour races, and 100-mile epics, but media coverage at
these events is minimal. Mountain Flyer will fill this void.
Comprehensive coverage of regional cycling events will aid in the
growth of the sport by increasing awareness of the events and racers.
In addition, sponsors will be provided with a format to market their
products and promote their teams. Without media coverage, there is
little incentive for a business to sponsor an event or a race team.
