KISSENACYCLING

Kissena Cycling Club was founded in 1963 by the "godfathers" of New York bike racing; Al Toefield and Pete Senia, with the belief that there should be a cycling club accessible to all New Yorkers. Al and Pete were also the driving force behind the creation of the Kissena velodrome in Queens. The club has produced many champions, most notably, George Hincapie. We're Brooklyn based and promote two race series: the Lucarelli & Castaldi Cup in Prospect Park, and the Lucarelli & Castaldi Cup, Castelli Tuesday Night Series at Floyd Bennett Field. We're fortunate to have seasoned race director Tom Mains promoting and running these races with support from the club... Although we're Brooklyn based we have members citywide, you'll find us at early morning training rides in Prospect and Central Park. We're supported by Ride Brooklyn. Our focus is on road racing, cyclocross, track and time-trials... Kissena has a strong presence in road races, criteriums and cyclocross races in and around New..
