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.

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.

On a special occasion the Green Arm Bandits and a few friends went out for a ride with George Hincapie.

Have you every awakened from a dream and wished the events were reality? Well... recently one of my dreams came true.

My wife, Kristin, and I had been planning my 40th birthday for a while. She advised me that we would be having an open house at our home the night before the celebration as a low key way to kick off the weekend. When my GAB mates started to file in, along with a few other cycling friends, I was looking forward to a nice evening. Then, my best friend Sonny and a ring at the door. In stepped a tall dark featured slim fellow in European dress with a smirk on his face.

Percy went to the 7th 2011 Deerfield Dirt-Road Randonnée, his 6th time finishing this 180 km epic ride with 4000 m or 12'000 ft elevation gain on dirt.

Kris, Chris and I showed up for the second to last Friday night race of the year. A good group turned out with lots of fast guys to keep everyone honest.
