Ready to put in some base miles?
Have you ever thought about racing? Do you beat your friends in the sprints? up the hills? Have you ever watched the Tour de France and said to yourself ‘I want to try that’, now is your chance.
Orange 20 Bikes announces the inception of their racing team and cycling club. Become a member and share in the Orange 20 family, whether you want to race, or you just enjoy cycling in a group and want to benefit from training with knowledgeable, friendly riders. The racing team will be overseen by Glenn Hays, ex-Raleigh team rider with racing experience in the US (districts and National Championships), Belgium, Holland, France, and Australia. He will also be representing Orange 20 in some Masters road and stage races this season.
