Mirco Racing
represents commitment to family, hard work, healthy
lifestyle and cycling advocacy. Patrick and Linda have over
25 years of cycling, training and racing experience. Raising
three children in this environment has allowed Nicole,
Samantha and Tyler to develop a love of the sport and a
competitive nature. With a life filled with commitments to
training, soccer schedules, work, family and home demands it
only made sense to create a family team.
It all began with a group of friends
mountain biking together and then along came Granny Gear
Productions 1994, 24 Hours of Canaan team mountain bike
relay race. Patrick was on a four-man sport team and Nicole
was the entertainment in the condo at just 6 weeks old! Yes,
Linda was team and baby support! We have come a long way
from 1994. Linda, Samantha, Nicole along with former
teammate Sadie Decker had their own women’s sport team at
the 2009 Granny Gear Productions 24-hours of Big Bear. Tyler
provided team support to the women’s team along with
Patrick’s Solo Race. Patrick pulled double duty racing for
himself in the solo field as well as racing with the girls
on their laps to offer support if needed. Now that’s
dedication!
Over
the years we have been instrumental in presenting various cycling
events such as the, 24 hours of Killbuck, 24 hours of Mohican, Valley
City Street Fair Road Race and various cyclocross races. Mirco Racing
in 2011 started a youth initiative along with 331 Racing with the
simple premise to get kids outdoors and experience mountain biking.
We have been providing skills and technical instruction to kids
15 and under so that they can develop a love for singletrack mountain
biking. 2013 was the
inaugural year for the Ohio Interscholastic Racing League (OIRL) which
Mirco Racing, co-sponsors and provides endless support, including race
director and race official servies. In 2014 Mirco Racing presented
the Cleveland Gay Games mountain bike time trial event. We have
committed manyhours of trail development, maintenance and support to
Vultures Knob and The Thorn Mountain Bike Trail. Patrick holds a USAC
Coaching License, and is a Regional C official. Linda is a USAC
Regional C cycling official.
The Mirco Racing team kit was inspired
by Patrick’s father’s Sinclair and Texaco Service
Stations which he co-owned under the business Mirco
Automotive. We feel proud to honor family and commitment to
hard work as we cycle through life!
