Road Racing

2024-2025 Racing Season Calendar

Spring Schedule

Road racing in the spring is the club’s main focus. The Eastern Collegiate Cycling Conference (ECCC) sponsors events most weekends from early March until the end of April which the club participates in. In addition, many members of the club compete in the Cornell kit during the summer months locally and away from Ithaca.

The ECCC sanctions road racing at the following categories:

Men: A, B, C, D, Intro

Women: A, B, C, Intro

The breadth of these different categories ensures that a variety of riders, ranging from novices to people racing professionally in Europe, can all compete against people of their own skill and experience level.

Riders train heavily on their own time, mostly out on the roads, indoors on trainers during the winter if the weather is too cold, or participating in cross-training activities like running and cross-country skiing. Some of the more experienced racers mentor and coach the less experienced riders, allowing these riders to become experienced and successful in their own right.

Our 2024 season was very successful, including numerous top finishes at regional ECCC races across all race categories. We hope to expand on our success in the 2025 season with more race wins and rider category upgrades.

If you’re interested in racing, we’ll see you on the road this spring!
