My name is Eli Watson and I have been invited by USA Cycling to race and train at a three week camp in Belgium and Holland this August. This opportunity to compete in Europe would provide experience racing at an international level. I have big goals and dreams of racing professionally in the World Tour peloton and this will be a great step in making that happen. I have competed at the highest level of junior racing in America, where I have had success and gained amazing experiences that I have documented through my YouTube and Instagram Bros Ride Bikes. Cycling has at times been financially challenging for me and your support would really help to make this trip a possibility. I want to inspire others in the sport of cycling through my YouTube and social media platforms. Racing and riding bikes is a thing that I love, and I would like to share that with everyone. This opportunity would be an experience that will help me grow both as a competitor and a content creator to show the amazing world of bike racing. Thank you for considering supporting me.

I have incredible sponsors and parents that have helped cover the costs of all of my season events so far this year, but this trip goes above and beyond those funds. The cost of the trip is $4500 plus travel expenses. It will offer a unique experience for riders to begin their journey towards professional road racing. With at least 4 European kermesses (likely 5-6) there will be no shortage of on the bike learning and racing experience.
