Hello!
The Williams Cycling Team is excited to announce that our 2026 kit store is officially open, and we’re thrilled to offer you the opportunity to ride in Ephs colors once again. Ordering from the alumni store is a great way to support the team, as proceeds help fund racing, equipment, and initiatives that make cycling more accessible for students on campus.
This year’s kit design is especially meaningful to us. We drew inspiration from the iconic Veterans War Memorial Tower that sits at the summit of Mount Greylock, Massachusetts’ highest peak at 3,491 feet. Each year on Mountain Day, when the mountains call, the Williams Cycling Team makes the journey up Mount Greylock, finishing together at the summit. The 2026 jersey reflects that tradition, featuring a daytime rendering of the memorial tower on the front and a nighttime version on the back, symbolizing both the physical challenge of the climb and the shared experience that brings our team together. We were also fortunate to receive inspiration and feedback from Williams alum Peter Burghardt ’85, whose involvement helped shape the final design and reminded us how strong and lasting the Williams cycling community truly is.

Quick Castelli size guide from us:
We want to highlight a few important notes about sizing before you place your order. Castelli uses European sizing and generally runs smaller than most American brands, so we strongly recommend sizing up. All items are custom-made to order and unfortunately cannot be returned, so please take extra care when selecting your size. As the saying goes—measure twice, cut once! We highly encourage you to consult Castelli’s official size chart here:

Timeline:
The store is open now and will close on January 11th, so be sure to get your order in before the deadline. Once the store closes, Castelli’s production timeline is approximately 7–8 weeks.
One exciting highlight this year is the Aero Race S Bib Short, which is the same model worn by the UCI WorldTour team Soudal–Quick-Step, making it an excellent, race-quality option.
Thank you so much for continuing to support Williams Cycling—it truly makes a difference for our team and our ability to grow.
Please feel free to share this link with other alumni or friends of the team who may be interested. If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to reach out to me ([email protected]). If you’d like to learn more about our team and what we do, we’d love for you to check out our website at http://sites.williams.edu/cycling or follow us on Instagram at @williams_cycling for more Williams Cycling content.
We are also always happy to accept donations of old cycling gear and accessories to help students who are new to riding—if that’s something you’d like to support, please feel free to get in touch. It’s the strength of the Williams cycling community that keeps our team going, and we’re so proud to be riding together in Ephs colors for 2026.
Happy holidays, and Roll Ephs!
Best regards,
Ramiro Ramirez ’26 and Percy Tonha ’26
