History of R5Ciclismo

R5Ciclismo began as an independent race team dating back to 2015. Prior to this, the team had existed in different forms, including Rock Racing in 2010.

In 2015, the R5Ciclismo team went out on its own and recruited beginner racers, in addition to the seasoned vets it had on the squad since the beginning. R5Ciclismo’s riders competed in all road racing disciplines offered through USA Cycling.

In 2018, the leadership of R5Ciclismo decided that creating an actual cycling club versus a racing team would be more inclusive and beneficial for the riders in the Southern California area. The new “club” grew quickly, reaching 100-plus members in its first year.

R5Ciclismo has established itself as one of Southern California’s premiere cycling clubs and will continue to offer its members the camaraderie and competitive spirit that enhances fitness and cycling skills. This club also encourages safety education for cyclists and facilitate bicycle training. The R5Ciclismo Bicycling Club provides a place where riders can build friendships, connect to the greater Southern California Cycling Community, and ride with other like-minded athletes.
