GREENSBORO VELO CLUB RACING TEAM
Mountain & Road

   This club's genesis was in 1975, along with the organization of the Carolina Cup. The Greensboro Velo Club was formed to house the race team and the Cup event. This club has grown to be one of the most active bike clubs in North Carolina, involved in all aspects of community cycling; including recreational, commuting, touring, trail riding, road, track, mountain and cyclocross racing.
   While we have had great talent and success with riders like Bunki Bankaitis-Davis (Olympian & world champion) and National and North Carolina champions, the focus and intent has been to encourage local riders and provide them an avenue to better enjoy bicycling.

    The GVC team for 2012 continues the tradition of being open to all interested potential racers. You are invited to be part of this team!

    There are no preset qualifications or level of athleticism, any cycling enthusiast living within a 50 mile
radius of Greensboro is eligible. He/she only needs the desire to participate and to be part of the team.
