Frequently Asked Questions

If we haven't answered your question here, please contact us here or message us on Facebook.

Do you just race cyclocross?

No!   We have members that participate in many different cycling disciplines.   Our primary focus right now though, is growing participation in cyclocross.

2

Are there any age restrictions?

Nope.   We have a place for cyclists of all ages.   While we're currently focused on growing our junior team, we're still at heart a cycling family, welcoming to all.

3

What about skill level?  I've never raced before.

No worries!   We welcome cyclists of all skill levels!

4

What equipment do I need?

A bike and a helmet.   While there are cross specific bikes, many beginners start with a mountain bike.   As long as it's got some grippy tires, you should be good.

5

How much does it cost to join?

Nothing.   There is no charge to join our team.   We will have a merchandise store available to purchase jerseys and other clothing items, at a cost, however this is optional.

6

Are practices mandatory?   Are races?

No.   We're pretty laid back.    While we do encourage you to come to practices and skill sessions, nothing is held against you if you don't make it.   Just remember, the more you practice, the more you'll improve.   Racing is also optional, but you're missing out on a good time if you don't!

7

I race NICA.   Does this interfere?

While our Cyclocross season does overlap with the fall NICA season, we are strive to be complimentary with NICA.   None of our promoted races conflict with NICA events.
