ABOUT US
SpeedClub is a multi-faceted entity: a branding, content, experience machine A private membership collective driven by a shared passion for endurance sports and authentic connections Built on trust and camaraderie forged through shared effort We unite likeminded individuals who thrive in the transformative power of sport.
With over 15 years of crafting iconic designs and developing strategies for global brands, SpeedClub blends a love of endurance and culture with sharp focus Rooted in authenticity, our thriving community is built on long-term relationships and enriched by over two decades of rides, events, and race promotion
We support the Michael Garrison Racing program, an ambitious professional cycling initiative across road, gravel, and mountain disciplines.
Through SpeedClub Media, we share stories with our members and the broader endurance community via newsletters, behind-the-scenes racing content, and the Culture Edit Podcast, which consistently ranks among the top 5% globally in weekly podcasts
SpeedClub connects business-focused endurance athletes with carefully curated brand partners, exclusive networking opportunities, and meaningful experiences Our retail and experience venue serves as a hub for community and collaboration, while our travel programs and design studio extend the SpeedClub ethos beyond the ride.

The Michael Garrison Racing Program captured the essence of its namesake, blending ambitious goals with a fearless and authentic approach to cycling In 2024, the program set a groundbreaking schedule, spanning road, criterium, gravel, and MTB racing delivering standout results across every discipline. But more than just chasing victories, it embodied Michael’s unique philosophy, establishing him as a true provocateur on the U.S. racing scene.
Michael’s unparalleled passion and sheer joy for racing turned every event into an electrifying spectacle His energy captivated fans, shattered expectations, and redefined what it means to compete, inspiring a deeper connection to the sport at every turn
None of this would have been possible without the unwavering support of our members and sponsors. Their belief in our vision and dedication to the sport powered one of the most ambitious and diverse racing calendars the U.S. has witnessed. Together, we lit up the scene, creating unforgettable moments and setting a new standard for what’s possible in American cycling
The Michael Garrison Racing Program was about more than winning races it was about redefining the racing experience, fostering community, and inspiring athletes to chase their passions with authenticity, joy, and resilience
Thank you for being an essential part of this incredible journey.
