Mr. Van Haute,
I wanted to send my sincere thanks to you and the Jelly Belly squad. This past Friday night Jelly Belly took part in the Minneapolis crit as part of the Nature Valley stage race. Prior to the start of the mens race, the team was parked in a lot on a side street, in full prep mode getting everything ready for the race. My 3 year old son decided this was the place he wanted to hang out. He went straight to the team and proceed to throw out a flurry of questions, he even sat down in someone’s chair. This was a pretty big move for such a little guy. Had he been shooed away, I would have completely understood. Instead, everyone on the team answered his questions, chatted with him, and made him feel like this is where he was supposed to be all along. I can’t tell you how excited he was, he talked about the experience the whole way home.
This group of riders truly showed what it means to be a professional.
Thank you,
Chad, Hollie, and Connor (3) Macy
I have read stories like this one consistently regarding the Jelly Belly squad – from race to race across the country. Our family follows cycling closely and makes it to many races in the SouthEast US – we have felt this same sentiment toward the Jelly Belly Team – a 1st class group. I hope you guys realize the positive impact you have made on cycling, and especially kids (future cyclist & cycling fans). I’m glad to say – you guys are heros to my daughters!
Thank you,
The Carter Family
(Hi to Nick Reistad – from Mady)
It’s no wonder Jelly Belly is celebrating their 10th anniversary as a pro-cycling team…they always are true professionals. They always have time for their fans, always have time for visits to hospitals, schools, and the less fortunate. In todays cycling world, Jelly Belly Pro Cycling Team always stands at the top of the podium when it comes to Professionalism. Who says, Nice Guys finish last…in the world of cycling, Nice Guys like Jelly Belly Pro Cycling always finish first! Thanks Jelly Belly!
