🏆🍻 THIRSTYBEAR BRINGS HOME THE BACON! 🍻🏆

Big cheers to our Oregon-based ThirstyBear Cycling teammates for showing the competition how we roll! 🚴‍♂️💨

🥇 Aris Sophocles — Oregon State Road Race Champion, 40+
Aris put the hammer down and rode away with the 40+ Oregon State Road Race title! Apparently, all that training really does pay off. Who knew? 😎

🥇 Matt Slater — Oregon State Criterium Champion, 60+
Matt showed the youngsters that experience, strategy, and an appropriately timed application of suffering are a pretty unbeatable combination — taking the 60+ Oregon State Criterium title! 💪🔥 Pictures of Matt here on many other podiums!!

Two champions. Two state titles. One ThirstyBear spirit. 🐻🍻

We’re incredibly proud of Aris and Matt for putting in the miles, embracing the pain, and representing the team at the highest level.

Ride hard. Race smart. Have fun. And always leave something in the tank for the post-race beer. 🍺

Congratulations, gentlemen! 🏆👏
