Team Background

The Green Arm Bandits are a sub team of the East End Cycling Team (EECT).
EECT has been racing in the tri-state area since the 70's
and has over 50 podium wins to show. We thank the veteran CAT 2 and 3 racers of
EECT who have provided the guidance and advice to help us structure a team.

Team Mission Statement

As a member of the Green Arm Bandits, a strong commitment and dedication to competitive Cat 3, 4 and masters road races is expected. The Bandits focus upon the tri-state and New England’s epic road races, including Battenkill, Bear Mountain, Housatonic, Union Vale, Tokeneke, and the Tour of the Hilltowns.

AGreat racing at the Tour of the Battenkill. A little dusty and some loose gravel challenges. Decent placing and all went smoothly. Great race and organisation again!

So I am just back from 10 days in Tenerife. What a great place to ride! We arranged a bike through www.tenerife-training.com. A nice durable stead, outfitted with new Vredestein tires. It was my first chance to ride them, and they performed great. Special thanks to Dr Leslie for the set-up. The island is a riders paradise, just do not expect much in the way of flat. Our first climb was 22 miles from Los Cristianos to Teide. It was a beautiful sunny day, with temps ranging from 50-70. Thank god for the great scenery, otherwise a climb like that would be killer.

All of the members of the GreenArmBandits cycling team came together for our pre-season planning meeting this past Saturday. Nice to see the guys in street clothes. We have been together frequently during the off-season during training rides, but have had little time to discuss upcoming season plans. This was a wonderful opportunity to do so, while also catching up on family and personal happenings.

A few GABs went to the SICX 2011. Great placing and congratulation to Karl placing 4th with his MTB!!

During George Hincapie’s special visit and ride with the Green Arm Bandits and friends,  George graciously answered any questions we had about what has been and continues to be a celebrated career of almost 20 years as a professional whose talent, strength, and determination is just as celebrated and coveted by cyclists everywhere.
