The Bike Shop Racing

The Bike Shop Racing Team

… is an Alberta-based team competing across many disciplines of cycling: road, track, gravel, cross-country mountain biking, enduro, and cyclocross. We are athletes who race provincially and nationally, with the hopes of lining up at international races in 2023.

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


Link What’s New for 2023

In 2023, The Bike Shop Racing and The Ride Club are joining forces. After its inaugural 2022 season the Ride Club boasts a membership of 70+ riders and hosts weekly road & mountain bike rides. The merged organization encompasses the Ride Club and a 10-person race team consisting of 6 men and 4 women who aim to race at the highest level.

By merging the two groups we will:

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