Corning Race Team

Join Us

The 2009 bike season has been especially successful and we want you to be part of the 2010 team.  The Corning Race team is a group of bicycle racers from the Southern Tier of NY that was started only three years ago.  Our original group of seven riders has grown to thirty five.  In 2009 we participated in 53 races, had 13 first places finishes and finished in the top ten over 101 times! In 2010 our team will be expanding.  To our successful men and woman's team we will be adding a junior development team for riders between the ages of 10-18 and a triathlon team. Please help us to recruit members for these new teams to get them off the ground and running

Bike racing is an individual sport but joining our team can boost your level of enjoyment and provide you with more racing opportunities. The Corning Race Team offers teammates that work together for team success. Your teammates will be your training partners, help to motivate you, and provide support. We race as a team and when the team wins we all win.  

The Corning Race team, however, especially offers opportunities to women and juniors.  Currently there is one other junior team and one woman's team in upstate New York.  Our team hopes to foster cycling in our area and provide opportunities for these riders.  Many times I have heard adults say they wish they had started racing when they were younger.  With your support that will become a reality for our children.

As a member of the Corning Race Team we offer you access to all of our team discounts and special offers.  In 2009 theses included Rudy Project sunglasses and helmets, specials from Kingsbury cycles in Elmira, Hammer Nutrition fuels and supplements , and Stan's NoTubes tubeless tires. In 2010 we will be expanding these discounts.  Members are given access to our exclusive team listserve and website, provided with training materials, provided tracking of your results weekly,  helped with license upgrades, and able to purchase heavily sponsor subsidized team uniforms. We also offer weekly training rides and the experience of veteran riders who will help you learn and improve in the sport. In addition we usually travel as a team pooling our resources to save money on travel and accommodations. Finally we will provide financial support to junior riders (ages 10-18) to help them discover this lifetime sport.

The 2009 season is not yet over. September offers three local road races, numerous local century rides and the start of cyclocross season.  Cyclocross is the perfect way for cyclists to stay fit during the winter season.  Cyclocross season starts September 20 and goes until the end of November. We especially encourage woman, triathletes and young riders to join us.   So join us now.  If you want to race in 2010,  next year starts now.
