WESLEY: My job is to make sure you can travel with your bike like a pro. If you are going to spend the time to actually train like a pro and not get paid like one, then at least you should travel like one. That's my whole M.O.  I actually support and transport the bikes across the country.
FRED So what type of events do you go to?
WESLEY Triathlons, road bike races, MS 150s, Cyclocross, mountain bike, 24 Hours, state racing. I worked a lot with the U.S.A. Pro Cycling Challenge in the past year transporting bikes. But it is for whoever wants an easier way to actually race. Verses, boxing your bike and making it more cumbersome with putting it on the plane. When you bring family, we want it to keep it simple where people can actually enjoy the event verses it being a hassle.
WESLEY Pricing, pricing is pretty simple and basic. You can go with the simple price of 245 (US Dollars). That is roundtrip. That's transport from A to B, and back. There's add-ons, you can actually bring a second bike or your pit bike for 49 (US) dollars for Cyclocross. For bags, it's either between 25 and 30 dollars depending on the event. And if you want the concierge service where we are giving more people the opportunity to really be treated like a pro to where I actually pick up their bikes, their bags, and restore and repack them for them, that's 39 dollars. So worst-case scenario, out of pocket is for anyone to go to any event is 290 bucks. 
FRED What comes along with the package?
WESLEY Me! isn't that enough? No, basically it is giving people the satisfaction of knowing that they are going to be taken care of like family. Having a home away from home and knowing where they are going to be. They will always have a place to stay. And always have a base camp where they can reside and hang out.
FRED And then mechanical support?
WESLEY Most of the time I bring my sidekick Chandler here to most Cyclocross events just because there is a lot of demand and service involved. But normally for triathlons I do all of the service and support just cause it is not as bike demanding. But giving people the comfort of knowing that their bikes are going to be up and running when they go race is a great comfort to them. I like to offer the full service basically giving everybody what they want.
