Team El Grupo

Want to get fit, make new friends, and gain confidence? Team El Grupo may be the place for you!

We ride bicycles for the sport of it. We are about a lot more than just riding our bikes down the street. We ride bikes become stronger, smarter, and faster.

Team El Grupo is comprised of male and female youth aged 12-18 from diverse backgrounds, representing more than 10 different middle and high schools in the Tucson/Pima County region. The Team rides road and mountain bikes competitively, encouraging bike touring, cyclo-cross, and daily commuting.

We participate in road and mountain bike races. As a group, we strive to empower every rider with the confidence and courage to set and achieve goals that are dreams at the start of their El Grupo tenure.

We also expect the same thing from every rider: that they come to practice ready to work hard, with positive attitudes, and with trust and kindness for their fellow teammates. If this is the attitude that carries you through your time with the team, we feel very confident that we can help you achieve your goals.

We also expect each rider to participate in community outreach activities and events, put family and school first, and all of this requires enhanced time management skills. El Grupo is about much more than just riding bikes.

No bicycle, equipment, gear or race experience is necessary to try-out.

Scholarships and tuition discounts are available for qualifying families.
