Get to know Team UBG Cycling
Building Community, Speed, and Strength on Two Wheels
Team UBG Cycling is a volunteer-driven, non-profit club dedicated to fostering the social, recreational, philanthropic, and health benefits of cycling through education, organized rides, and team gatherings. Founded over a decade ago, UBG has exploded from a handful of passionate riders to scores of cyclists joining us every week! We’re proud to have earned many team awards from Bike MS, a testament to our commitment to excellence both on and off the bike.
WHO CAN RIDE WITH UBG
Team UBG welcomes riders of all abilities and disciplines. No pro-level gear required—just a bike, a helmet, and the desire to improve. You’ll always find supportive teammates ready to share tips, mechanical know-how, or a wheel to follow. To join group rides, riders should comfortably hold a 17 mph+ rolling average (adjustable for wind, terrain, or group dynamics) for at least 20 miles with scheduled regroups.
New to group riding? We’ve got you. Before the ride begins just speak with one of our ride leaders and we'll do our best to make you feel welcome and safe. Every UBG rider started as a beginner.
