We are very active in our regional conference, the Atlantic Coast Collegiate Cycling Conference, and at a national level. The club won the conference road title numerous times and have produced national champions. We participate in road, mountain and cyclocross disciplines, and continue to be competitive in each of these year after year. This week we will be giving back with a cyclocross race open to the collegiate and non-collegiate race communities. This will be a great chance to see the team at its best while we fundraise for another successful season,” states Reid Beloni, president of the cycling club.
