The goal of the race reimbursement program is to encourage and support ECV members to enter races as well as volunteer for club activities. Strengthening the image of ECV and its sponsors by wearing the “blue and white” in races, training rides and at cycling-related events is vital in presenting ECV as an attractive club to its members and community.
