Thank you for visiting the Team Placid Planet Web site.  We come from all walks of life, and our orbit revolves around common interests (obsessions for some) in cycling and triathlons. We ride and train primarily in the High Peaks Region of the Adirondacks and can’t complain about the scenery. Our team’s galaxy consists of the following guiding principles:

• be safe
• promote good sportsmanship and fair play
• race like there’s no tomorrow
• raise awareness/elicit enthusiasm
• train smart/maximize athletic potential
• serve as ambassadors for visitors to the region

Ranging from junior girls and boys to masters women and men, Team Placid Planet members are also committed to practicing social responsibility, minimizing our environmental impact, and fostering positive relations with the communities where we train and compete. Our Youth Program, inspiring the next generation of Lance Armstrongs and Heather Fuhrs, is in its fourth year.

We encourage you to visit our title sponsor, Placid Planet Bicycles, and we also acknowledge, thank, and heartily recommend our other local sponsors: Fitness Revolution, Flowering Meadow Nursery, Scheefer's Adirondack Builders, Graymont Materials, Inc., HomEnergy Services, Lake Placid Pub & Brewery, Egglefield Ford Stores, and Wilderness Inn Restaurant and Cabins. Please feel free to join us for one of our training events or contact us and we will happily address your questions.
