The club was founded in 2006 as an organization to embrace and foster many forms of cycling: weekend recreational rides; long-distance touring; commuting; randonneuring; ultra-marathons; and off-road riding.
Our monthly club newsletter, emailed to all members, is also available free in at The Print Depot. Members may elect to receive the newsletter in their e-mail as a PDF. It contains articles and columns of interest to the local cycling community, and features our monthly schedule of rides - the heart and soul of the club. (Most of what appears in the newsletter is reproduced and archived at the club website.)
Mission
Our goal is to offer a full slate of rides each weekend, with something for everyone.
Activities
Weekly rides typically range between 50 and 100 miles for the more ambitious riders and a slightly more relaxed ride of between 20 and 50 miles for more moderate riders. We also list mountain bike rides, time trials, multi-day tours, and introductory rides for beginners. Occasionally, as volunteer energies dictate, we offer clinics on everything from learning to change a tire to advanced pace line riding. In addition to the weekend schedule, we have a thriving calendar of regular weekday rides, some of which pull in as many participants as the marquee weekend attractions.
Our club rides take us as far Roma and the far reaches Zapata. But most of our rides are concentrated on the many scenic, lightly traveled back roads of Hidalgo County. |
