Who We Are NOT

  • We are not a racing-only team – racing is optional, not mandatory; our focus is on participation and skill development.
  • We are not a drop-ride group – we ride at the pace of the slowest rider and keep the group together.
  • We are not a coaching service – we provide mentorship, not private coaching programs.
  • We are not an unsupervised youth program – all youth rides have adult ride leaders and safety protocols.
  • We are not a bike shop or tour company – we do not sell bikes or operate as a commercial service.
