The Team


The Green Mountain Sports Racing Team is based out of Lakewood, Colorado with racers who compete in Mountain bike, Cyclocross and Road bike races year round. The team is the racing division of the longstanding Green Mountain Sports Velo Club. There are approximately 25 racers on the team, all of whom have a passion for cycling and racing.





Team members are well respected throughout the community and the state, as they are committed to both good sportsmanship and excellent results. During 2009, the Green Mountain Sports Racing Team and Velo Club participated in races throughout the region, garnering more than a hundred podium finishes.



Most racers on the team compete at either the Pro, Category 1/Expert or Category 2/Sport levels in mountain bike races, and at the Category 1 through 4 levels in cyclocross or road bike races.



Team Focus


The Green Mountain Sports Racing team focuses on top-level events throughout the state and the region. During the 2009 season, you could find the team well represented at the following races:


  • USA Cycling Mountain Bike Marathon national championships. There were more than 750 participants, and the race was viewed by thousands of spectators as it was held in conjunction with the July 4th parade in Breckenridge, Colorado. The race received extensive coverage among cycling magazines, websites and other media.
  • USA Cycling Mountain Bike national championships for Cross country (XC), Short track, Super-D and Downhill. These races, held in Granby, Colorado, drew U.S. Olympic team mountain bikers and the best professionals and amateurs from around the country.
  • American Cycling Association Colorado cyclocross state championship races for pros and amateurs which were held in Arvada, Colorado.
  • American Cycling Association Colorado road and criterium state championships races in Salida and Longmont Colorado.
  • The Winter Park Mountain Bike race series which drew from 450 to 600 racers per event, including U.S. Olympic team members and top professional and amateur racers from throughout the region.


2009 Racing Results

The 2009 season was hugely successful for the Green Mountain Sports Racing team. Combined, the Green Mountain Sports racing team and velo club finished the year with more than 40 wins and 100 podium placings!! The team's success spanned across mountain bike, cyclocross and road bike races.



Mountain Bike:
  • 50 podium finishes (top 3)
  • 15 wins
  • 5 National championships podium finishers
  • 2 National champions

  • 35 podium finishes (top 3)
  • 20 wins
  • 1 State champion

Road Bike:

There are few, if any, regional teams that can match the team’s 2009 results portfolio. But, the team in not all about winning every race. The Green Mountain Sports racing team is also comprised of racers aiming to exceed their "personal bests" while growing and developing within the sport of cycling.
