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.
