Our Story
TEAM ROTR was founded by Brett Landon, who attended college in Iowa, where he played hockey and rugby. One summer, instead of returning home, he decided to stay in Iowa and train for rugby. During that summer, he experienced the excitement of RAGBRAI, which came through Waverly (the college he was enrolled). Brett vowed to participate in RAGBRAI one day. After graduating, he relocated to Minnesota and began his career at Mayo Clinic, setting sports aside temporarily.
​
Eight years later, Brett resumed playing hockey and joined a local adult hockey league in Rochester, eventually managing many adult leagues and one of the largest and most well-known adult hockey tournaments in the country, known as The Return of the Robin (ROTR). During this period, he also developed a passion for cycling and connected with fellow hockey players sharing the same interest.
This led him to form a RAGBRAI team, resulting in the creation of TEAM ROTR. The original team consisted of both hockey players and cyclists, marking the beginning of a new chapter for an energetic RAGBRAI team with a strong affinity for hockey.
