Founded in the 80's the VT Cycling team was originally created as a way for those who raced to share stories, train together and talk bikes when they weren't in class. Now the team consists of anywhere from 30-40 full-time, part-time, undergrad, grad and doctorate students as well as many members of the Blacksburg cycling community.
While the team still focuses on road cycling as the originators did, the team also fields a competitive mountain bike team, nationally ranked cyclo-cross team and has many members who race during the summer as Virginia Tech as well!

The team now competes in the Atlantic Collegiate Cycling Conference along with many other schools such as NC State, App state and the Naval Academy. Road season for the ACCC runs during the spring academic semester while mountain bike and cyclo-cross seasons run during the fall semester.
Many riders start their cycling passion through the VT Cycling Team getting their first bike from our local shop and then going on to race with the team but many riders also use the team as a development platform to move to the next level such as professional cyclist Ben King (now on Garmin Sharp).
All are encouraged to join and dues are only required if you wish to race with the team during the collegiate season!
Meetings are typically held mondays during the regular academic semesters so come on out!
