So, you want to go fast? We won’t stop you.
As a club team, we compete in the Eastern Colligate Cycling Conference (ECCC) for Mountain, Cyclocross, and Road. Racing can be as competitive (or not) as you’d like it. We don’t have try-outs and no one sits the bench!

Racing is totally non-committal, we do not force you to do all the races or any at all. You can race all the events for every race weekend, one event every now and again, or just come to spectate and volunteer.
The ECCC offers different categories, usually A, B, C for men and A, B for women (with A being the most competitive). You’re automatically placed in the lowest category when you sign up with USA Cycling (USAC), but can petition to cat-up if you’ve had previous race experience.
