TOBIN ORTENBLAD

2016/17 CYCLOCROSS SEASON PARTNERSHIP PROPOSAL

FLYING TO VICTORY AT THE LOBSTER CUP SEASON OPENER RACE

PARTNERSHIPPROPOSAL

Thank you for taking the time to review this proposal and consider a partnership for the 2016/17 cyclocross season.

I am eager to speak with you about my plans to explore how they might enhance your marketing initiatives.

I invite you to become a partner of this program.

TOBIN ORTENBLADI am an elite cyclocross athlete who is bright, fun, committed, driven, and respectful. I would be proud to serve as an ambassador for your brand.

I live in beautiful Santa Cruz, CA where I graduated from Pacific Collegiate High School in 2013 and now attend Cabrillo College where I am pursuing a degree in mechanical engineering. Cycling is my absolute passion. I have raced almost every discipline ranging from downhill and fourcross to cyclocross and road, but cyclocross is my calling. I am a cross racer, and I am focused on that season year round, racing road and select gravel events in the spring/summer to prepare for cross in the fall/winter.

I’m fortunate to have been raised in a cycling community like Santa Cruz. I’ve learned from those within the community, whether the leathery old dudes on the Saturday group ride or a couple select pros who continue to humble me whenever we ride together. I’m a product of the community that I grew up in, and I will always be grateful for the people who inspired me to pursue this passion.

At this point in my career I am young and absolutely want to race professionally for as long as possible. I understand that relationships come first. I feel a strong sense of gratitude towards my sponsors, teammates, coaches, and supporters. Going forward in my career I am reaching out to companies I believe in and want long term relationships with—a relationship where when somebody thinks Tobin Ortenblad they think about your brand as well.

My focus for the 2016/17 season is to have a strong presence at key domestic UCI events—including two domestic World Cups—while establishing myself as a front runner in the Elite field. I will also participate in select European World Cups for international experience and local races in the Bay Area for training. My season schedule will prepare me for the USA National Championships, with my sights set on being selected to represent the USA at the World Championships.

2O16/17 PROGRAMVISION & GOALSMy vision is to develop a new cyclocross program during the 2016/17 season. Initially I will be the only rider representing the program, but once it is established and has momentum, my goal is to bring a Junior racer onboard. I want this program to represent the West Coast and all of its great companies on the UCI Cyclocross national and international stage. I feel that cross is huge on the East Coast, and when people think “cyclocross,” the West Coast is often left off the map when in fact we’ve got some of the industry’s best companies and professional racers. For the coming 2016/17 season I want to bring this team to the UCI professional level and establish our roots as a legitimate professional program.

THANK YOU

My priority will always be bettering myself for the next race, but I know there’s so much more to being a professional athlete. Although racing is my focus, I

understand that being an ambassador for your brand is more than just numbers on a results sheet—it is about being a humble, well-rounded person. A person who is approachable. A person others want to be around.

A person who is motivated to achieve results and who inspires others to do the same. Frequently this balance is

lost in cycling. Riding bikes is fun, so let’s keep it that way. I have a clear perspective of this and would love to bring my positive outlook to your brand through a partnership

with my 2016/17 cyclocross season and in moving forward into the future.

Thank you for taking the time to review my proposal. Please feel free to contact me for any additional details.
