MERALOMA RACING
(archived page)


Meraloma Racing provides an opportunity for new and emerging racers to:
  • improve their fitness,
  • develop their race skills, and
  • learn how to implement team tactics in race situations.
We are serious enough to expect our members to put the work in but also undisciplined enough to regularly go for drinks after training rides.

Our team members compete in all types of racing - from road races, to crits, to cyclocross - mostly within the the Lower Mainland.

If you have any questions or are interested in joining us, please contact us at meralomaracing@gmail.com.
Information about the 2023 team and season coming soon ...
