We do not make you do all the races or any at all to be apart of the RPI Cycling Team. You can race all the events for every race weekend, one event every now and again, or just come to spectate and volunteer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The ECCC offers different categories, usually A, B, C for men and A, B for women (with A being the most competitive). You&#8217;re automatically placed in the lowest category when you sign up with USA Cycling (USAC), but can petition to cat-up if you&#8217;ve had previous race experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Interested?
