I didn’t start cycling until I was 40, and then discovered an amazing community. Since then, I have moved to several different cities with my career, and the first thing I do is search online for a cycling club in my new city.

I am also excited to continue the long history of this integral Colorado Springs club and expand our reach even further in the Colorado Springs community.
