About Us

History of CORE America and CORE ISRAEL cycling club

CORE America was developed and brought to fruition by Doctor Rene Lucas and Director Sportive, Steve Cullinan.


Both Steve and Rene, who are top level master cyclist, worked endless hours developing CORE America as a top level Masters racing team. Many of it’s members, including Yehuda “Packman” Packer, finished in top national placings over the years, and competing in the US, Europe, and Israel.

 

Packman eventually moved to the State of Israel, and became a major figure in the Israeli cycling community. Packman, who is a 3 time Israeli national champion in the Road Race and Time Trial, made his home in the south of Israel.

Living, training and racing in the south, he felt compelled to bring about more exposure on the Masters club and racing platform. Packman began the quest of developing a high level masters/racing/cycling club for serious riders. Packman with the help of Rene, developed CORE ISRAEL cycling club, with a whole new meaning behind the name.

 

Core “the innermost,” represents the ideology of Courage, Origin (Israel), Racing/training, Environment (CORE)
