Men's Cat 1/2 Team

SDBC men's race team is one of the largest premier men's teams in SoCal. The main focus is to develop upcoming young riders, and move them to the next level. The team has been working with local colleges, UCSD, and SDSU in particular, to develop young talents. In turn, the team has a continual supply of racers graduating up through the ranks to the elite categories. The men's team is one of few in the state that consists of racers from beginners to nationally ranked top athletes.

The humble beginning started back in 2007 as men's DEV team, with only category 4 and 5 riders. As the team grew, cat-3 squad was added in 2009, then cat 1/2 team launched in 2014 officially. For the past few years, the men's team hovered around fifty team members which represented in four squads and five categories. Not only do we have a highly competitive 1/2 team, a dynamic cat-3 team, we also have a large and enthusiastic 4/5 team that has been serving as a feeder team for our higher and more competitive squads. There are no other teams in the region that have similar structure and sustainability for future growth as we do.

Our racers have been well known and super active in the region, as well as other parts of country in various races and disciplines. In 2019, combined, our team members raced more than two hundred times in crits, road races, stage races, TT's etc. We brought home 12 wins, 16 podiums, and 36 top 10 finishes in one season. Our other noticeable accomplishments in recent history include a TTT win in elite category, a 6th place finish at elite national RR, and many wins and podiums in well known races such as Manhattan Beach GP, San Dimas Stage Race, Valley of the Sun Stage race, Dana Point GP, Tucson Classic etc.

In 2021, we're poised to carry the momentum that we have built from the past several years to overcome the challenges we're facing. And continue to grow the team and the sport in general.
