Meet the gladyators
The Gladyators are a cyclocross-focused (for now, at least!), beginner friendly, fun-loving team of folks who are serious about trying our best and becoming better cyclists, but just as serious about having a good time on our bikes and building community in the process. We are welcoming of people of all gender identities and expressions. If you want to reach out and learn more, email us at [email protected], or better yet, come find us at a local race!
