The idea for Altius Cycling Team came about after many years of riding for various cycling teams and seeing that a void was developing in the local cycling community.  It seemed that many teams we more designed for the racers, with little emphasis on giving back to the sport of cycling itself. The premise is simple.  No Races - No Sport.  The lack of support for the local racing scene lead to frustration, so the need to establish a team that focused on nurturing the Richmond cycling community became apparent.  The sport of bike racing has served us well and Team Altius looks to return that appreciation by supporting the racing community, local shops, racers, and promoters. Race hard, have fun, and be respectful.
