COMPETITORS
(A or B Groups)
Join our group of road, triathlon, gravel, mountain and/or fat bike racers. The rides they choose are typically race training, fast, and require good group riding skills, including close drafting and echelons. Riders must be able to fend for themselves on directions and bike repair.
There is still no requirement to purchase a club jersey (~$90), shorts or jacket, unless you are a USAC race team member**. However being a ‘jersey wearer’ entitles you to Chilkoot Cyclery’s 20% club discount.
** USAC Rule Book: “Licensed riders must register with a club and USA Cycling before they are eligible to present themselves as a member of that club. This includes, but is not limited to wearing a club’s jersey or entering a race as a member of the club.”
