Welcome to the COBRAS

The COBRAS cycling team was founded in 1993 by Herman Ponder, an accomplished racer,  and Frank Schneider, a beginning racer as a developmental/racing club focused on individuals who love the sport of cycling and who already race or are interested in learning to race.  We are also a social club and host weekly team rides and social events. Membership is open to anyone who enjoys cycling whether they race or not.
