World MTB Championships Norway

Story

Help send Steve Agronick to the World Mountain Bike Championships in Norway on Monday August the 25th 2014. Allow me to introduce myself, my name is Steve Agronick. I live in the Villages Florida which is in Central Florida right smack in the middle of the state. I am a Master’s bicycle racer (70+) and compete on a regular basis in mountain biking, time trials and road races with great success. My racing journey began 25 years ago when I raced all over New England, New Jersey and New York. I have won state and regional Championships in New England, New Jersey and New York State. My greatest successes have been in mountain biking. In 2004 we moved to Florida and I have never looked back, I love it here; it is a beautiful state and perfect for riding and racing bicycles all year long. My racing got a new lease on life when I landed in Florida. I have won 2 State Road racing Championships , 1 Crit, 3 silver medals in time trial State Championships and two runner up positions in the Florida Mountain Bike Championships. This year I was a Silver medalist in the Florida State Mountain Bike Championships. This race was a qualifier for the National Championships which were held in Pennsylvania on July 18th. I am happy to say I won this and I am very proud to say I am the current National Champion in my age group. Well, the next chapter is about to begin I want to go to Lillehammer Norway at the end of August to compete in the World Mountain Biking Championships and represent the USA and bring home the Gold. I can do it! My training is going very well and I will be ready. Of course it costs money and it's expensive, there is plane fare , hotel, car rental, bike transportation and food. This is not a vacation but my quest to become the Master’s World Champion and to represent the USA and bring home the Gold. I have been in contact with USA Cycling and if I can raise the money I will be wearing the Stars and Stripes team uniform. In closing I am passionate about what I do and my dedication is without comparison. I could use your help in the form of a donation.  Any amount will help and no amount is too small.  I hope to thank each and every one of you and how I will do this is to ride myself into the ground to win Gold for USA.  Respectfully Steve Agronick.
