Cycling in the United States, even globally, is not the world of glamor that we see with the NFL, NBA, or Premier League soccer. However, it's that very difference that makes it so beautiful and full of passion and humanity.
Cycling is a sport of emotion, human connection, and authenticity. Give the most recent article in the Escape Collective by Sam Boardman a read... a great piece of literature and introspection.

Project Echelon sets out to tackle the Tour de Beauce, North America's most demanding stage race.

Criterium Nation explores the importance of this race to our 2024 season, especially with the event taking place 'on home turf' for our partners at Argon 18.

Excerpt: After a dream start to their 2024 season, Project Echelon returns to Beauce, aiming to complete what now is the Triple Crown of North American stage racing with their previous victories at Redlands and Tour of the Gila. Team owner Eric Hill has made it no secret “(a)t the onset of the season, we set a goal of sweeping the GC in North American stage races, a feat that has not been accomplished in this century. Doing so would certainly cement our place in the record books and highlight our continued progression year over year.”
