So, you’ve had enough of the mud and race road… or maybe not enough and race CX
ECCC (Eastern Collegiate Cycling Conference) road and cyclocross races are a great way to get into or continue racing your bike. With disciplines like road races, criteriums, time trials, and Cyclocross (CX) there’s plenty of two-wheeled-fun to go around.
RPI Cycling races both Road and Cyclocross in the ECCC, plus some local events and races too! We race in road races, criteriums, and time trails (both team and individual) in the spring and Cyclocross in the winter against different colleges all around the Northeast and stay overnight near the venue (or daytrip it if it is close enough). Reach out to us at rpicycling@gmail.com for more information, join the discord, and come to our meetings if you’re interested.
RPI Cycling supports our racers by offering 50% reimbursement for all race related fees, housing, and gas for these race events.
The 2024 Cyclocross ECCC season had 17 races all around the Northeast (most competitive ECCC athletes only raced in 5-8 races). The 2024 Road season took us to Farmington, CT (for four races); Boston, MA (cancelled); Rutgers, PA/NJ; and Burlington, VT.
