FAQ

No.  We do not pressure anyone to participate in a race.  We do strongly suggest that they attend at least one race to cheer on their teammates and gain the experience of attending a race.  We suggest that it's one of the earlier races in the season so that they have a chance to register for a later race if it looks fun and exciting.  Some athletes may decide racing is not for them and they just enjoy practice and cheering on their teammates at races which is totally fine.  More details on races here.

The number of races you attend is entirely up to you.  You can also choose which of the 6 races you attend.  Most NEYC teams are represented at every race by at least some part of the team.  It's a big party with people that are passionate about cycling.  What's not to love?  More details on races here.

Practice will start on the first Tuesday in April and go until the end of the season in mid-June.  Races are the first three Sundays in May and the first three Sundays in June (no Memorial Day Weekend).  More details including full schedule and locations here.

The league registration fee for 2025 which applies to all athletes is $300.  Races are $40 each for most racers.  Additional costs include the bike, helmet, and jersey which are all variable.  Financial assistance is available on a as needed basis through the league.  Information for financial need should be submitted to NEYC via their form.

Our goal is to make this safe and fun for everyone.  We love bikes and we love sharing the joy of biking with everyone on the team.  Please contact info@ndoracing.org with any questions.  We're happy to answer them!
