Contacting The Team
To join the team, volunteer for our race in May or become a sponsor send us an email at narrowsvelo@gmail.com.
We always welcome new riders and sponsors. If you are interested in joining the team or want to get acquainted, come out for a training ride this winter. We have a ride that meets at the Cutters Point coffee shop @ 9AM every Saturday during the fall/winter training season. There's also a 9AM Sunday ride that meets at Susanne's Bakery & Deli. If you join us for a ride in Gig Harbor please park your car along Harborview Drive. Routes will be determined before departure. Check out our Team Rides page for more info.
