Quick Cranks Racing Team
We race because it makes us better — and because it’s fun. This is community-first competition: hard efforts, high fives, and learning together.
What we’re building
Quick Cranks Racing exists to make racing and fast group riding feel accessible. Whether you’re lining up for your first start line or chasing a podium, you’ll have teammates, mentorship, and a shop that genuinely has your back.
Our focus: road, gravel, XC/MTB — plus a strong “show up and learn” culture. We’re serious about riding, not serious about ourselves.
Team values
- Community-first: we bring people into the sport, not gatekeep it.
- Consistency beats intensity: show up weekly and you’ll improve fast.
- Respect the pack: safe riding, clean lines, and good etiquette — always.
- Support culture: we celebrate wins, and we learn from rough days.
How the Racing Team Works
1) Weekly rides
Structured group rides that teach pacing, drafting, and race skills — with a supportive vibe and clear ride rules.
2) Race calendar
We coordinate target events across road/gravel/MTB so you can train with purpose and race with teammates.
3) Support + prep
Bike checks, setup guidance, and “what to expect” help so your first (or fiftieth) race feels way less intimidating.
New to racing?
Perfect. We love first-time racers. We’ll help you understand categories, gear, tire pressure, fueling, and how to ride smart in a pack.
Our goal is simple: help you show up confident, get through the day safely, and want to do it again.
