if you're in it for the competition....

The “Blue and White” road racing team, junior road and mountain bike development teams and cyclocross team have produced several competitors that have gone on to professional cycling careers. Not only is it fun to watch and cheer our members on, but our competitors give back to the club by helping the others achieve their goals. Whether you want to win a stage race or make it to the end of your first century ride, having the best help you get there is the Essex County Velo difference.
