Bike Company Looking For 'Adventure-Minded Cyclists'

Blackburn, a bike gear company, is looking for adventure-minded cyclists to serve as brand ambassadors and chronicle their journeys in the company’s “Blackburn Rangers” program for 2014.

“Nicknamed Rangers, our ambassadors provide the ultimate test of our products and bring them into real-world situations as they tackle journeys along the Pacific Coast and Great Divide routes. Blackburn Rangers work directly with our designers and engineers to deliver invaluable product feedback as well as advocate for bicycling touring, share their journeys and adventures along the routes and encourage everyone to get ‘Out There,’ ” Blackburn said in a release.

The four selected Rangers will receive new and prototype Blackburn gear, travel to the 2014 Blackburn Ranger Camp at the Whiskey Off-Road in Prescott, Ariz., and appear in company videos and marketing materials.
