Why we're sponsoring Bateman's Bicycle Company and the Bateman's MTB School: weekly social rides, skills development for new riders, and local races that bring our community together.
At Craftsman Renovations, we spend our days focused on foundations, framing, and finishing touches. We know what it takes to build a beautiful home. But we also know that a truly strong foundation goes beyond concrete and wood, it’s built on the connections we share with our neighbors.
That is exactly why we stepped out of the workshop and onto the trails to sponsor Bateman’s Bicycle Company and the Bateman’s MTB School.
For us, this partnership isn't just about putting our logo on a jersey; it’s a direct investment in the health, joy, and resilience of our local community. Whether you're a seasoned mountain biker or someone just looking to get back on two wheels, here is a look at how we're working with Bateman's to build something special this season.
There is something incredibly unifying about getting a group of people together in the woods on a weekday evening.
Our supported weekly social rides are designed to be the ultimate equalizer. It doesn’t matter what you do for a living, how old you are, or what kind of bike you ride, when you hit the trailhead, everyone is just a rider. These weekly events do more than just get our community moving; they create a dedicated space for people to decompress, share stories, and build friendships that last long after the bikes are put away.
Our philosophy is simple. A neighborhood thrives when its people have a place to connect. The local trail network is just a different kind of neighborhood.
Mountain biking can be intimidating. Rocks, roots, and steep descents are enough to make anyone hit the brakes. That’s where the Bateman’s MTB School comes in, and it's one of the initiatives we are most proud to support.
Through structured training and skills development, the school provides an incredible environment for riders of all ages to learn. But what they are really teaching goes beyond bike handling:
By supporting the MTB school, we are helping to ensure that the next generation of riders has the skills and the support system they need to tackle obstacles—both on and off the trail.
Race days are the heartbeat of the local mountain biking scene. We actively sponsor and support local races because they are the ultimate celebration of community effort.
The value of these events isn't just found on the podium. It’s in the volunteers handing out water, the parents ringing cowbells at the top of a grueling climb, and the riders cheering each other on across the finish line. Races give our community a shared goal to rally around. They foster a healthy sense of competition and a massive sense of collective achievement.
At Craftsman Renovations, we believe in building things that last. Thanks to the incredible team at Bateman’s Bicycle Company and Bateman’s MTB School, we are helping to build a vibrant, active, and deeply connected community.
If you see the Craftsman crew out on the trails, at a social ride, or cheering at the next local race, please come say hello. Better yet, grab your helmet and join us!
