Community

We at the Devil’s Gear are committed to supporting the community that supports us.

We have a few major sponsorship commitments each year, plus we make many smaller donations to worthy causes. We believe in the value of community, and we believe it is an honor and a duty to give back.

If you have an event or organization in mind that you think we should support, please email matt@thedevilsgear.com. As much as we’d like to, we can’t say yes to every request, but we will do our best to help in some way.

Rock 2 Rock

Rock 2 Rock
From West Rock to East Rock, these 5-mile, 12-mile, 20-mile, 40-mile, and metric century routes explore our community’s parks and greenspaces, back roads and city streets, city neighborhoods and small towns. Along the way, we listen to great music, eat tasty food, and enjoy a beautiful spring day.

Rock to Rock riders raise support for more than 30 local groups and have raised over 1.5 million dollars in the last 11 years — all doing high-impact work to create a healthier, greener community.

CCAP

CCAP
The CCAP wants to make a young peoples lives better through the sport of cycling. The sport of cycling teaches children or young adults a wealth of values, social skills and mindsets that help them become successful in every aspect of their life. The CT Cycling Advancement Program ensures that young adults enter the sport and have a clear avenue to develop as far as their ambition, skills and abilities can take them. We believe that the success of these young athletes benefits not only the regional cycling community, but also the collective community.

The CCAP believes that the program’s success will result in the following:
Our sport, our youth, and our entire community is healthier, happier and more successful.
Our State’s cycling initiative becomes a model for the rest of the country.
Connecticut becomes known for its natural beauty, its healthy and active outdoor lifestyle, and its sports and business friendly environment.
