For Immediate Release:
Jan. 27, 2009
Winston-Salem, NC

Premier Sports Partners is pleased to introduce the UCI Continental Team: "Team Mountain Khakis-cycleMK." This team was formerly known as the "Time Pro Cycling Team."  The team remains strongly committed to its mission of identifying young talent and teaching the trade of professional cycling.  Pairing young high-potential riders with experienced captains and mentors speeds knowledge transfer and shortens the learning curve and everyone is given the common goal of delivering top performances in national caliber races.   The team management is pleased to have found such a strong supporter of our mission and goals in the Mountain Khakis organization.    

 Mountain Khakis is a Jackson Hole, Wyoming-based company that produces high quality, all-purpose outdoor pants. Mountain Khakis were designed by outdoor enthusiasts to handle the day-in-day-out needs of the rugged outdoor lifestyle and are made to be durable, yet comfortable. Crafted with attention to every detail, Mountain Khakis pride themselves on producing one of the highest quality products in the outdoor apparel industry.  All proceeds of sales using the promotional code "cycleMK" at www.mountainkhakis.com <http://www.mountainkhakis.com/>  will go straight to the Mountain Khakis Cycling team.     

2009 team will be directed by Jason Snow and consists of many returning riders as well as some key additions.  Andy Baker, Jackie Simes, Eric Barlevav, David Guttenplan, Mike Stoop, Tom Soladay, Daniel Ramsey, Jon Hamblen, and Adam Myerson are returning riders.  New additions include Mark Hekman, Toby Marzot, Logan Loader, Will Hoffarth, Spencer Beamer, and Issac Howe.  The All-American team will alternate its young riders and experienced mentors through both a southeast regional calendar and a full NRC, USA Crit and  U.S.Pro <http://u.s.pro/>  Tour schedule with the ultimate goal of winning a National Racing Calendar event.    

As part of the process of cultivating the next generation of US cyclists, Premier Sports Partners have established a unique talent identification process. Two riders on the 2009 team, Logan Loader and Will Hoffarth, were selected from our 2008 Performance Camp.  It is an unprecedented opportunity and offers all young riders a legitimate forum to show that they have what it takes to ride for a professional team.  We hope to take at least 4 riders from the camp this year for our 2010 team.  The camp will be held from June 10th through the 14th in Winston-Salem NC.    

More information about the Mountain Khakis program, the team, and the Performance Camp can be obtained at the team website www.teammountainkhakis.com <http://www.teammountainkhakis.com/> .
