Introducing the Mid-Atlantic Union presented by Netflix, a composite team created to compete at the top tiers of domestic road racing.
The Mid-Atlantic Union creates opportunities for deserving riders from grassroots clubs at the region's top invitational event, the Armed Forces Cycling Classic; and at the USA Cycling Pro Road National Championships. The Union will ride as one at these and other pro-am, major regional events; in local events of the Mid-Atlantic Bicycle Racing Association (MABRA), riders will happily race with their "home" teams, including Redshift Racing, DC Velo, SpeedLab Racing, DistrictTaco Racing, the National Capital Velo Club, and District Velocity Racing.
The cycling community of the D.C., Maryland, and Virginia area has long produced many standout bike racers, from many great racing clubs. The few who put on the cherry blossom armband all proudly represent this region to the country -- and show that there is power in the Union.
The Mid-Atlantic Union is a USA Cycling-registered Domestic Elite Team. It receives support from Netflix, with additional support from Ourisman Auto, Klein Coaching Company, and QuickPro bicycles. -
