MACC Race Team
The Vision
MACC Racing’s vision is to continue to bring awareness of the sport of bicycle racing in black and minority communities and to provide challenging and enriching experiences for all people.
The Misson
The mission of the MACC Racing team is to reach our vision through the development of those new to racing as well as create the most competitive men’s and women’s team across all racing categories with a goal of becoming a domestic elite team sanctioned by USA Cycling. Equally important is the mission to develop and maintain a juniors program aimed at introducing youth to the sport of bicycle racing and providing a platform for training and structured racing across various disciplines including road, criteriums, mountain and cyclocross. All objectives of the race team will be done in the spirit of the MACC culture and community.
The Dream Team
The Dream Team program was created in 1994 by the Bicycle Ride Across Georgia (BRAG) to offer Atlanta Public School students the opportunity to get fit by cycling across the state. ‘MACC Racing’ is the next phase of growth for Metro Atlanta Cycling Club and BRAG Dream Team to grow its presence in the metro Atlanta area and the Southeast at large.
Success of Riders of Color
Articles have been published in the Wall Street Journal about the success of riders like Justin and Cory Williams who are making names for themselves by going against cycling’s traditional paths and still winning races, let’s not forget women of color, for example Ayesha McGowan. She along with many other elite-level women are bringing attention to the need for a more realistic representation of people of color in cycling as shared in this article.
