Who we are:
WannaBeeRacing is a team of competitive mountain bike racers in Minnesota. Our races are predominantly part of the
MNSCS (Minnesota State Championship Series) mountain bike series, but our racers have also competed in the
Leadville 100,
Chequamegon Fat Tire Festival, 24 Hour races and
Ironman triathlons to name a few. We started small but our team has grown and we have continued to build deeper friendships.
How we started:
In 2007, when
MNSCS announced that they were going to have team racing, a few racing friends (the WannaBee founders) decided to create their own team. WannaBee Racing was born. By the end of the 2007 season, WannaBee Racing had seven members but no sponsor. But even without a sponsor the team of riding-friends became
2007 Sports Class Team State Champions. And on an individual basis, three WannaBee racers made it to the 2007 Podium for their class.
In 2008 the team grew to sixteen members, and 10
sponsors offerered support to the WannaBee Racing Team. The Sport Men defended their 2007 title and once again were named
MNSCS 2008 Team Champions. And even though the Comp team was small, they finished 2008 in the 5th spot.
At the start of 2009 the team has grown to 29 members, including 5 women. We are always looking and
welcoming new members.
What our name means:
Definition: A wannabe (sometimes spelled wannabee) is a person who likes to imitate, or even wishes to be, another (Pro-Racer), but cannot achieve it due to physical, psychological, financial, cultural, political, religious, or mental limitations.
Our Goals:
To defend our current title of
MNSCS Sport Class State Team Champions and to win the title of Citizen Champions and Comp Champions in 2009. We would also want to be among the top three teams in the 2009
Omnium Scoring for MNSCS.
