Purpose of the Race Team

Team Pentahas been developed with a couple purposes in mind. Team Penta aspires to develop a competitive amateur team that operates in a professional manner and helps to develop racers both young and old.

2009 is the seventh year for for Team Penta and we continue to accomplished outstanding race results at all levels. Regarding racing and to be more specific, we want to complete each year with good racing results and to also be organizationally sound. Organizationally speaking, we accomplished this through delegation of activities for the various aspects of successfully participating in racing events.

We also support CAT 3 and CAT 4 racers along with our already established Cat 2 35+ team. We have also added many new racers to the team who we fully expect will only add to our team palmares.

Team Penta acknowledges that most amateur teams do not operate in a professional manner. Additionally, often times racers see themselves as somehow above the person who is just cruising down the road on the weekend. We have committed ourselves to operate professionally which hopefully is obvious by reading about Team Penta and to Advancing the Sport of Cycling... This means we are open and available to those who may not race but are cycling enthusiasts at any level.
