Mi duole Cycling expresses our heartfelt gratitude for the sponsors who make this team possible.

CyclingUpgrades.com

New for 2023 we are excited to welcome Korby Van Valkenburg and Cycling Upgrades as sponsors of the team. We interviewed Korby for the Mi Duole podcast all about his company and what they can do for the team https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/mi-duole-cycling-podcast/id1540668362?i=1000566702104

CyclingUpgrades.com is here to help you buy and ride upgrades! CyclingUpgrades.com was born from a passion of riding and upgrading our own bike(s). With some of the best road cycling and climbing in the world at our doorstep, we can often be found out riding up grades as well as upgrades! Please let us know how we can help you ride upgrades!

We buy and sell high-end cycling equipment all over the world! While we specialized in high-end road bikes, we are happy to take a look at whatever cycling related items you might have for sale or trade-in - mountain bikes, TT/triathlon, vintage road bikes, and even lightly used gear such as clothing, shoes, and helmets are all fair game. Simply use our trade-in submission form to begin the pricing/trade-in process on your used bikes or gear!

We are located in Mapleton, Utah! While we are not setup to browse like a typical bike shop, with some advance notice we can pull items from inventory to see before purchasing or for local pickup at:

Barbacoa Mexican Grill

Mi Duole and Barbacoa go together like Scotty Pippen and Michael Jordan. We are peanut butter and jelly. This partnership is 15 years old and keeps getting better and better. The team is grateful to call Barbacoa home and even more grateful for all of the food they so generously provide. Thank you for fueling us!

From their website, “At Barbacoa, you’ll always find quick, fresh, guilt-free food at a fair price. No wonder we’re a favorite of people with active lifestyles, including professional and college athletes, bike racers and other top performers. We are not the biggest quick casual Mexican restaurant company, but we believe our relatively small size allows us to better serve our customers common sense food....because we believe that you deserve to eat well.”

Parsons Behle & Latimer

Ken P. Jones | 801-536-6942

One of the strengths of Mi Duole is that most of the sponsors are also riders on the team. Parsons, Behle & Latimer comes to us from long time team member Ken Jones. He has been a member of the team since the very beginning and proudly wears our yellow jersey!

“At Parsons, we’re not a traditional law firm. We understand that the only way to be prepared for tomorrow is to innovate today and find better ways to practice law. That’s why we’ve been challenging the status quo for 140 years. Because doing what’s best and what’s most efficient for our clients sometimes means doing things differently than they've been done before.”

Beckett & Robb

Welcome team member, Derek Bleazard and his company Beckett & Robb as sponsors of the team in 2023! https://www.beckettrobb.com

BECKETT & ROBB WAS BORN OUT OF A PASSION FOR WORLD-CLASS MENSWEAR, AND A DESIRE TO SHARE OUR PRODUCTS, DESIGNS, AND IDEAS WITH MEN EVERYWHERE. Beckett & Robb began with the goal of providing an excellent made-to-measure service as an alternative to buying ready to wear. It has evolved into much more. We strive to achieve proper fit, whatever that may mean for the wearer. Equally important to us is to provide excellence in the quality of our tailoring and a world-class experience for our clients.

These standards continue to drive us today. We’re passionate about products made with superb craftsmanship. We know it’s the only way to achieve timeless results, both in terms of the styling and the longevity of the garment. We also want each client experience to be what it should—memorable, enjoyable, and, dare we say it, life changing.

We believe products that are made well, and responsibly, enrich the lives of the craftspeople who make them as well as yours, and will serve you well now and in years to come. In a world of fast fashion and disposable clothing, we espouse the virtues quality over quantity, craft over speed, and classical styling over trend.

Beckett & Robb was founded in 2009 by Derek Bleazard and Jason Yeats.

Marshall Olson & Hull

Olson, a leading Utah commercial trial lawyer who formerly headed the litigation section at Durham Jones & Pinegar, one of Utah’s largest and finest law firms. Erik Olson is a member of the Mi Duole team and has completed LOTOJA 10 times. He is a leader on the team and wears our yellow jersey.

Hanger 15 Bicycles

Hangar 15 Bicycles was founded in 1993 by Draper resident Mike Pratt, under the original name of Canyon Bicycles. Mike was a passionate cyclist at an early age. While serving as a Marine, Mike got a lot of his friends into cycling. One of his friends thought it would be fun to ride his bike home when he was discharged later that year. At the time they were stationed on the coast of North Carolina & his friend’s home was in Nevada. Mike joined his friend on that adventure across the country. It was on that bike trip across the country that Mike decided that a bike shop was in his future.

Voler

Voler have been our gear specialists for years. They have incredible customer service. Their gear advances and changes each year with better fabrics and designs. The team loves being outfitted by Voler.

Voler was founded in 1986 in San Luis Obispo, California. What began as a small operation producing windsurfing bags and cycling helmet covers quickly morphed into creating top-notch custom cycling apparel for teams, events, and other cycling brands. By 1996 Voler moved to Grover Beach (15 minutes south of SLO) and ramped up production in a much larger facility. We added on to the facility in 1999 and started the Voler online Store (previously Velowear) selling our non-customized branded apparel direct to consumer.

Performance Rehab Clinic (Dan Mills)

New for 2021, team member Dan Mills and Performance Rehab Clinic have agreed to sponsor the team. Dan is an accomplish rider and incredible physical therap"At Performance Rehab Clinic, our philosophy is that one-on-one interaction with a knowledgeable physical therapist is crucial to a patient’s rehab experience. We are passionate about understanding each patient’s unique circumstances and helping them achieve their goals. As we build plans around you and your abilities, we want to focus on your needs and goals."

We are committed to the patient experience and increased the time that a physical therapist spends with each patient. PRC has always offered a clinical environment that is focused on medically based rehabilitation. We are neither a health club nor an alternative medicine provider. As healthcare dollars are stretched, many providers are using ancillary staff to fill the gaps. We still subscribe to the philosophy that one-on-one interaction with a PRC therapist is crucial to a patient’s rehab experience. We are passionate about understanding each patient’s unique anatomy and how he or she can reach their desired goals.

GRANGER ORTHOPEDICS

Granger Medical Clinic was founded in 1954 by Doctors LaVere Poulsen and Glenn Wilson. The two providers came together with the hope of better serving the Granger community (now West Valley City) on the west side of the Salt Lake valley. They were the first (and at the time, only) physicians in Utah west of the Jordan River to serve a growing population that had previously needed to travel east to find a provider.

Their practice steadily grew and in 1998, the clinic – then 21 providers strong – moved to a larger building in West Valley City. Continuing its trajectory, Granger Medical Clinic added locations, opening offices in West Jordan, Riverton and Draper. Today, Granger Medical Clinic has become one of Utah’s largest physician-owned medical groups with 28 locations now spanning four counties reaching from Bountiful to Payson and Sandy to Tooele.

Along the way, Granger Medical Clinic has added many specialists and ancillary services to improve convenience and quality of care for its patients. Within Granger Medical Clinic, there are over 170 providers practicing in 29 specialties with other services (including a sleep lab, clinical research studies, a lab and imaging department, and laser cosmetic treatments) being offered.

Dr. Dean Walker brings this new sponsorship to the team for 2022.
