ABOUT MARX & BENSDORF CYCLING TEAM

Marx & Bensdorf Cycling Team is a registered USCF Southeast amateur cycling team. Our team is focused on racing and competing in national, regional and local events. Last year alone our team competed in over 40 races. Some of our 2007 highlights included a Olheiser winning the UCI Master's World Time Trial Championship and Ben Gabardi winning several events at Junior Naionals.  Other highlights include competing in multiple state championships, Tour of Virginia, Mt. Hood, Nature Valley Grand Prix, and several other National Racing Calendar events.  In 2007, ACCM had well over 100 top ten finishes, and an impressive 17 wins.  Our competitive goals are only achieved by our depth of talent that includes a core group of Cat I, II, and III's, as well as many development riders. Since our conception, we have strived to pick and nurture our riders not only to be quality riders but also to be outstanding sportsmen in the sport of cycling.

2007 Races

Believe or not, we did find time to put on a race in 2007. This year included the Marx & Bensdorf/Smith & Nephew Grand Prix Omnium, which had more than 200 competitors.  Our team members also participated in other local mountain bike and cyclocross races throughout the year.
