Midweek Sponsorship Announcement

The Midweek Cycling Club is excited to announce a sponsorship agreement with Ricochet Pure Water for the 2004 season.

Ricochet is thrilled to play a part in such a physically demanding sport. Ricochet knows the benefits of quality water and the integral part it plays in helping an athlete push beyond their limits. Their electrolytic process is unique to Ricochet Water. It removes the impurities leaving only the naturally occurring balanced minerals our body requires to help function at its best.

The successful Midweek Elite Team will be using Ricochet water throughout the season and the club will have this great tasting product available at its scheduled series of events.
