The Bike Shop Racing

The Bike Shop Racing Team

… is an Alberta-based cycling team competing across a variety of disciplines, including road, gravel, cross-country mountain biking, enduro, and cyclocross. We compete at provincial, national and North American events.

As ambassadors of the sport, we encourage others to push their boundaries, believing that through challenge, cyclists can achieve a sense of accomplishment while promoting a healthy and active lifestyle.

Link What’s New for 2025

In 2025, we aim to add another spot for a junior-aged racer. Our team will consist of 9 athletes, 3 of whom will be U23 or Junior riders. We created the race team to offer young cyclists financial and mentorship support as they develop their skills. All funds raised by the team are dedicated to covering fees for younger members, organizing team training camps, and supporting costs for national elite-level events.

The Bike Shop Racing aims to:

  • Make the jump into racing less intimidating,
  • Have a larger presence at events across Alberta & BC, and
  • Host skills and learn-to-race clinics.

2024 Summary

In 2024, The Bike Shop Racing and The Ride Club unified their look with a new Ride Club jersey design closely resembling that of the race team. The Ride Club now boasts 80 members and hosts weekly road & mountain bike rides. The ABA-registered organization encompasses The Ride Club and a 9-person race team who aim to race at the highest level.
