Cycling Team
The
J. Furphy & Sons - Leigh Egan Cycling Team
was formed in 2006 as a result of a desire to encourage and develop young cyclists from the Shepparton region. Initially a 5 member team, all riders are from Shepparton and, as such, will train and race together. Shepparton has a strong history of cycling excellence with a number of local riders competing on national and international stages.
