Caleb's European Racing Debut
My name is Caleb Swartz and I am from Madison, Wisconsin. This is my 9th season of racing cyclocross and it has always been my dream to race internationally in Europe. This season it's coming true and I’m excited to announce that I have been selected to represent the United States to race cyclocross in Belgium and the Netherlands! This is my final year as a junior cyclocrosser and the races in Europe are the highest level of competition anywhere in the world.
I will leave on October 12th and return October 24. Please help me raise funds to cover my plane ticket, bike fees, etc. Although I have great support from my sponsors and family, it is too much to cover along with my other races, equipment, etc. I will be doing four races including one Super Prestige (Zonhoven, BEL) and the Valkenbug (NED) World Cup. USA Cycling covers lodging, entry fees, and transport in Europe.
See more about my journey and keep up-to-date on my races at my blog: http://calebcycling.blogspot.com/ and Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/cswartzz/?ref=badge
Thank you very much for your support and encouragement through the years! I am stoked to represent Wisconsin and Midwest cyclocross on the world stage and I hope to make you all proud.
Note: To save on the 5% fees from GoFundMe, I am happy to share our mailing address or my Paypal address directly.
