About
The Expo Category 3 Racing Team
The Expo Wheelmen Category 3 Race Team is new for 2015. While we have always had members of all categories who race, this new more-focused effort to create a team at the Cateogry 3 level is desinged to accomplish several important goals.
1) It is an effort to continue to allow a core group of club members to work in an organized way to achieve their cycling goals.
2) It helps provide resources to these club members who show a committment to racing regularly, representing our sponsors proudly, and flying the Expo Colors on podiums across New England.
3) It gives those new to racing something to strive for, providing a way of staying motivated and having fun while achieving their racing objectives.
The Expo Wheelmen are proud of the efforts of our Category 3 Race Team and are very excited to see it develop and grow!
Go Expo!!!
