Our Philosophy & Benefits

We are a co-ed, multidisciplinary, all-skill level cycling team that races. We are made up of a diverse set of independent cyclists of all ages, different backgrounds, and in all stages of their cycling journey. Our members range from brand new to National champion and participate in a wide range of cycling disciplines, with a focus on “dirt”. We are community-focused and inclusive, celebrate teammates’ successes, and support each other in our growth. We are an active part of the local cycling community and thrive to promote cycling as a sport and as a lifestyle. Many of us are explorers and wanderers and we promote biking as a means to discover new adventure outdoors.

We have had many generous sponsors that have donated money, merchandise and offered steep discounts to encourage our racers to achieve their best in a sport that requires expensive equipment, long training hours and specialized skills. Title sponsors have included travel arranger Egencia, software developer Blue Rooster, bicycle manufacture Ti Cycles and bike shop Aurora Cycle, as well as a plethora of supporting sponsors.

Team Avanti takes racers of all abilities and helps develop competitive cyclists who may strive to achieve cycling fame, or who may have more modest ambitions -- like finishing a race;  or simply being more fit. Whether you start off as a club rider, or jump in as a racing enthusiast, you won’t find a more supportive atmosphere.
