Does anyone have a Velo Bella tent they use for local races? If so, where did you purchase it and how did you pay for it? We would really like to get one here in San Diego, and I'm wondering if anyone else has already gone through this.

Haven't gone through it but if you find out something great, let me (us) know. Looks like you may be the trail blazer; if so, good luck!

We used to use just a plain black 10x10 EZUP. And then put Velo Bella banners on it. A regular 10x10 tent can be had for a couple hundred dollars at most. I think I paid $100 for one at Costco. But a custom printed one is at least $2,000!! Eek!
Lately we've been using Kona tents provided to us by Kona. They travel to all of the national mtb/cross races.

| I don't know if you have Fred Meyer or Joe's sports store in south Cali, but I imagine any general sporting good store would have basic easy-up tents. We got one for ~$80 last year and it paid itself off. they also go on sale frequently (at least in Seattle). a economical thought on adding Bella flare is maybe some fabric/puffy paint to add/print the logo... maybe lace... feathers.... just a thought.

| That's a GREAT idea. Thank you so much. I'm going to start hunting for a tent this weekend at Costco. Hopfully I'll find one for under $150.
