Sponsorship of Heart Rate Monitors for Ride Managers
We successfully sponsored the use of heart rate monitors at more than 10 AERC endurance competitions during 2019/2020/2021 and we want to extend this sponsorship to all other ride managers in the USA. (Big Horn, Antelope Island, Jingle Bells, Freeze R Burn and many more) We will provide the monitors free of charge.
