Our team consists of a large, diverse group of men and women with a wide variety of backgrounds, ages, cycling interests and experiences. We are road cyclists, mountain bikers, cyclocross racers, gravel racers, time-trialers, and triathletes; we are racers and non-racers. We participate in local and regional charity rides; and we train weekly on local roads, highways and trails. We are a highly energized and motivated group, both on our bicycles and in our community. We are united by our passion for the sport of cycling and our drive to become better athletes, as well as a stronger resource and positive symbol in our community. |
