Founding Principles:
- A small, intimate group. Each rider will strive to be involved in the team and know each rider's name, regardless of discipline.
- Race with heart. The team will prioritize sportskinship and friendliness over fast. While good results are the goal and greatly appreciated, we'd rather be known for being friendly.
- Give back. Riders will volunteer for our events and others when possible and will encourage new riders, young riders, and be a generally positive member of the cycling community.
Team Requirements:
- Regularly attend monthly team meetings
- Race or volunteer for 7 events per year
- Be an active member of our community
- Hold a valid USAC license
- Yearly dues are $110. You do receive a voucher for around $110 to put toward team kit.
- Purchase team kit (jersey and shorts or Skinsuit)
- All Members are expected to uphold the good name of Half Acre Cycling and its sponsors. Threats, insults, illegal activity, unsafe riding, and any other activities unbecoming of a Member may not be undertaken while in team kit.
Membership Benefits:
- Community
- Sponsorship deals
- Team Rides and Training
- Support with racing (team tent, help finding rides, Grants, Cheers and Beers, etc) NOTE: We do have some road and track racers, but as of 2023 the majority of our riders race CX, MTB, and Gravel. If you are a roadie or Trackie we'd love to have you! But we want you to be aware that those disciplines are not where we currently offer a lot of mentorship.
