Home  Marx and Bensdorf/Tristar is currently looking for contributions and sponsorships that will allow us to grow our development program and continue to race on the national scene. The Marx and Bensdorf/Tristar Elite Cycling Team is a member of Tristar.  Tristar is a qualified 501c3 non-profit organization that's mission is to help develop the Under 23 cyclist.  The purpose of the Elite Team is to give the Under 23 cyclist a place to "graduate" to as they attain a sufficient level of fitness and skill to compete in the upper end of the amateur categories (categories 1 and 2). All contributions made to Tristar are income tax deductable!  This will allow you to support cycling and lower your tax bill at the same time! Your contribution will be used to help offset the costs of travel to races, entry fees, equipment, clothing, etc.  Our goal is to grow the team from the current size of 4-5 riders to a team of 10-12 riders, with the majority of the riders being under the age of 23. If you would like to make a tax deductable contribution, you can simply make your check payable to Tristar and mail it to: Tristar C/O Travis M.
