Nicknamed Rangers, ambassadors provide the ultimate test of products and bring them into real-world situations as they tackle journeys along the Pacific Coast and Great Divide routes.

Blackburn is looking for adventure-minded cyclists to serve as brand ambassadors and chronicle their journeys in the company’s “Blackburn Rangers” program for 2014.

“Nicknamed Rangers, our ambassadors provide the ultimate test of our products and bring them into real-world situations as they tackle journeys along the Pacific Coast and Great Divide routes. Blackburn Rangers work directly with our designers and engineers to deliver invaluable product feedback as well as advocate for bicycling touring, share their journeys and adventures along the routes and encourage everyone to get ‘Out There,’ ” Blackburn said in a release.
