OutRival Racing Cycling Team
Vision and Mission
The OutRival Racing Cycling Team is a new amateur cycling team based out of The Woodlands, with members living throughout the North Houston area. The OutRival Racing Cycling Team is a team of cyclists who participate in Road, Mountain, Cyclocross, Time Trial, Criterium, and Track racing. Our Cycling Team is dedicated to advancing and promoting the sport of cycling. The primary goal of the team is to RACE!
We are dedicated to representing safe and enjoyable cycling for all levels of athletes through various forms of outreach: leading community rides, volunteering at sporting events, competing in cycling races in Texas, the USA and even abroad. The team promotes bike racing for all levels of cyclists, from beginners to professionals. As a team of cyclists, we are committed to a culture of health, fitness, wellness and safety.
Our Team is set up with two divisions to encourage a broad range of participation:
ORR “Sport” Cycling Team
The OutRival Racing Sport Cycling Team is designed for both newcomers to the sport of cycling as well as those who wish to race occasionally, perhaps as supplementary to another endurance sport, such as triathlon. Members must apply for an annual or one-day USA Cycling License, must list the ORR Cycling Team as their team affiliation, and must race in ORR Team Apparel.
ORR “Select” Cycling Team
The OutRival Racing Select Cycling Team is designed for more serious cyclists who are willing to make a commitment to the upcoming Road Racing Season. ORR Select Cycling Team members are selected on an annual basis and must meet the following requirements:
1. Purchase an annual USAC license with ORRCT as the selected team.
2. Wear an ORRCT kit when competing.
3. Compete in a minimum of 10 races a year, 5 of which will be from the selection of Team races and at least 1 Texas State Championship race.
4. Attend and participate in Team Meetings.
5. Participate in at least 1 Team Training event a month.
6. Participate in at least 1 Community Outreach program per year to support our Vision/Mission.
Leadership and Participation
The ORR Cycling Race Team Director, James Engle, and all of the ORR Coaching Staff are committed to supporting our athlete’s cycling interests as part of this new Team. Currently, the program is still at the grassroots level. More information and aspects of the program will be added as the program grows in both athlete interest and racing success. If you are interested in becoming part of one of the ORR Cycling Team, please contact the Team Race Director, James Engle, at james@outrivalracing.com for more information.
