Welcome to My Rally Campaign

My name is Spencer Petrov and I am an Elite Junior Cyclo-cross racer living in Mason, Ohio. I have been racing bikes for over six years and have challenged myself at the highest levels of competition here in the United States. I have been nominated to the USA Cycling CX Development Program and plan to race for Team USA in international competitions. I am pursuing my dream of racing against the best in the world at World Cup events in Europe and at the World Championships in Tabor, Czech Republic. My RallyMe Team is looking for additional members to support my dream of traveling to Europe for races in December and the Cyclo-cross World Championships at the end of January 2015.

USAC Development Foundation Matching Funds

My RallyMe campaign is getting an extra boost thanks to a dedicated and generous matching grant provided by the USA Cycling Development Foundation. I am among several elite Cyclo-cross athletes chosen by USA Cycling coaches and staff to take part in this matching grant program. With your support, I could raise valuable funds to help pay for airfare, baggage fees (two bikes and wheels sets), and training costs for these special races.

How I Got Here

I love racing Cyclo-cross because it’s hard and every race you encounter something that you haven’t experienced before in competition. I learned a lot about myself after winning the 2013-14 National Cyclo-cross Championships in Boulder, Colorado. I trained at altitude for two weeks prior to that race and experienced the negative physical effects of the change in elevation.

That race pushed me to new limits and the hard work paid off. Now in 2014, every race in the UCI 17-18 Men’s category has pushed me deeper than the limits I think my body will go, which demands total physical and mental focus. I love that challenge and can’t imagine doing anything else!!!

My Team

My Team has continued to expand throughout my years of racing bikes. The Lionheart Junior Race Team run by Doug Dobrozsi, started my racing career in the early years.  Element Cycles, and owner Brett Hungerford has played a huge role in my success this year with bike support and bike maintenance for my races. Two guys that have helped me since day one are Mitch Graham and Corey Green.  Both of them have spent so much of their personal time in helping me that I could not begin to recount all their efforts - thanks!  

I cannot forget to acknowledge my family and the many people who race in the OVCX series each Fall. The OVCX has made the junior races very affordable, accessible and challenging. More than that the OVCX is a big family to me, and the support of all its members has had a hand in my development, and for that I am grateful. It has been the people I have met and the many friends I have made that keep my passion for cycling going as I continue this personal journey each race season.

Join My Team and Spread the Word!

I am asking you to join my team as I pursue my dream of racing for USA Cycling at the Cyclo-cross World Cups and the Cyclo-cross World Championships. Please join my team by making a Boost of any size to my campaign.  I ask that you please spread the word to your friends and family by sharing this link via email or Facebook.

My family has done so much to get me to races around the United States, but now I need to reach out to friends and family to help me get to the next level of competition in Europe. Each of you can make a significant impact in my racing career with even the smallest of donations and by forwarding the link to my RallyMe page to your friends and family. Thank you very much!


For Boosters: Is my contribution tax deductible?
Your contribution to this Rally campaign is not tax dedictible because the funds are going directly to the individual athlete, not a registered 501c3 nonprofit organization.

Standard_12003266_532090023623141_5587057524935288534_n Spencer Petrov Wanted to update you all about the end of my season. First off, Thank you all so much for supporting my dream! I’m proud that I can say I finished out my season as the 3rd highest ranked junior 17/18 American in Cyclocross in the world now ranked 13 in terms of UCI points. I had some health issues midseason that set me back from what I wanted to do in terms of European results. Was finally feeling better again for Nationals, and a mechanical on lap 2, sidelined my Nationals race. I went from 3rd to 14th because of a broken frame. I had goals of making the Worlds team this year, but was not selected based on the results of the Nationals race. While it is a big disappointment to not have made the final selection, the good part is that I learned so much this season that will make me a better and stronger racer in the future. Already looking forward to next season! January 15, 2015
