Friends, Family, and Alumni,

Thank you for supporting SigEp Cycling through another incredible year. Your generosity helped us secure a 5th place finish in the 2025 Little 500 and 4th place in Qualifications, marking our fifth straight top five result.

We are proud of that progress, but we are far from finished.

This year, we return all seven riders from last season and are adding an eighth, giving us one of the largest and most dedicated teams in recent memory. Our sights are set on winning the 75th Running of the Little 500, and that means long hours on the bike, disciplined training, and a full commitment to improving every day. The truth is, we cannot do it without you.

Cycling is a demanding sport, both physically and financially. Your support directly funds essential training resources, race-day equipment, and our annual winter training camp in Naples, Florida, where we log over 25 hours of focused riding and build the chemistry that carries us through the spring.

This year, we have also launched our most ambitious project yet: a major expansion and renovation of the SigEp Bike Shed. For more than a decade, the shed has been the hub of our program, but with eight riders training year-round, it is no longer meeting our needs. We now have the green light to expand into an adjacent space, growing our footprint by 50 percent and creating a more functional training environment that will benefit SigEp riders for years to come.

We have set a fundraising goal of $20,000 to cover both the shed project and traditional program expenses. To recognize those who give, we will be creating a Donor Wall inside the new shed and hosting a special unveiling and celebration during Little 500 weekend.

Every gift, no matter the size, helps us take another step toward a championship and leaves a lasting mark on the future of SigEp Cycling.

Thank you for being part of this journey. We look forward to making you proud this season and to celebrating together in Bloomington on Saturday, April 25th, 2026.

With gratitude,

SigEp Cycling 2025 to 2026
