A founding and long time title sponsor Bike Mart (formerly known as Richardson Bike Mart) sponsored and supported the old high school league since day one back in 2006 and has always supported bike RACING so, naturally, they are a major sponsor of the Cedar Hill Race Festival. You can visit any of their 6 locations in Prosper, McKinney, Richardson, Dallas (White Rock Lake), Dallas (Preston Hollow), Fort Worth, or online but if you’ve never been to their main store at Coit & Campbell in Richardson then you quite simply have to check it out. It has to be one of the largest shops in the country by square footage, if not the world. It is seriously the size of a grocery store.

The Black Bibs is a great clothing brand you’ve probably heard of but what you don’t know is that it was started by our long time clothing partner Starlight Custom Apparel a number of years ago. After operating both brands for a number of years they are now retiring the Starlight band rolling it into the more well known The Black Bibs brand as The Black Bibs Custom. In addition to the basic high quality Black Bibs they’re known for they also do a full range of custom cycling clothing items including jerseys & bibs, of course, but also hats, gloves, warmers, booties, and more. There is often no minimum order size and when there is it’s just 6 pieces. The best part is that they’re even still affordable at that quantity. They offer super nice high-end stuff too and give additional price breaks as your quantities increase. In addition to sponsoring the race they were a long time sponsor of the high school league by giving a sweet deal on leader’s jerseys and BIG discounts for all our league-member school teams when the league had teams. They are also where the Jesuit Dallas Varsity Cycling Team has gotten their uniforms for many years.
Flanders Development Cycling is an organization focused on taking the development of young riders through a European racing camp. They run 32-day road racing camps based in Oudenaarde Belgium every summer so 15-18 year-old racers from around the world can experience Kermis style races. They share a house and facilities together for the month and get to experience a real European racing and cultural experience. Some of the same core people behind the Cedar Hill Race Festival are behind Flanders Development Cycling and at their roots both events/organizations are about supporting junior development cycling so there are synergies.
ReGeared does amazing work with recycled bicycle components and quality wood creating trophies, medals, & awards that are quite simply works of art. Each one captures the essence of the event for which it is designed and they are all unique. ReGeared sponsored the Texas High School Cycling League as a whole by providing discounts to the league and our official member teams for all their award needs. Back when the Cedar Hill Race Festival was 5 races across 4 disciplines over 2 days the special “All 5 Finisher Trophy” for anyone finishing all 5 events was designed and made by ReGeared.
