MENS RACING TEAM

The CDF men’s racing team consists of junior, WAIS scholarship holders and elite male cyclists. Elite and senior athletes serve as mentors for younger generations of cyclists within and beyond the team. Whilst the team races and engages in National Road Series races, the real focus is on the development of athletes and not results.  The development pathway demonstrates to corporations and business that cycling is a valuable option for sponsorship and marketing investment. Our focus is to bring competitive cycling to the mass of riders in Perth through community based initiatives.
