Our mission is to excel at the highest level as athletes, while inspiring others to perform at their absolute best, lead healthy lifestyles, and be engaged participants in the sport of cycling and in their communities. The team operates under Tam Cycling 501c3.
The team was formed in 2005 with the goal to create a pathway for athletes to the 2012 London Olympics. In 2009, the team name became TWENTY12, changing every 4-year cycle, followed by TWENTY16, TWENTY20, TWENTY24, and now 2028 representing the Los Angeles 2028 Olympics. The TWENTY28 program is responsible for developing many of the most successful American female cyclists to date, creating opportunities for elite, junior development, and para-cycling athletes.
We develop high-performance athletes and the next generation of competitive cyclists. We have success in aligning student-athletes with college scholarships through cycling. We support the multi-discipline athlete and are adaptive, dynamic, versatile, resilient, and committed to growing diversity in the landscape of women’s cycling.
Our athletes have accomplished 17 Olympic/Paralympic medals, 19 world champions, and countless national champions hailing from the USA, Canada, Cuba, and Mexico. A further 5 team alumni have represented Team USA in the past three Olympic Games. The team model supports experienced and elite riders to perform at their highest potential while offering junior riders a groundbreaking mentor program.
