Not quite there yet? No problem!

We understand that not every rider begins at the same experience or fitness level — and that’s perfectly okay. Our club is built on growth, inclusion, and the belief that every committed cyclist can improve with the right support and community around them. Even if you don’t currently meet every membership requirement, you are still welcome to apply!!! Your development can continue within our structured ride groups, where each cyclist is placed in the A, B, or C group based on current ability and goals.

Once you join, you’ll ride in the group that best matches where you are today, and you’ll have the opportunity to progress at your own pace. Our A/B/C framework provides a supportive environment for building skills, confidence, and fitness — whether you’re sharpening your performance for advanced rides or steadily working your way up from foundational levels. What matters most is your desire to grow and be part of a committed, uplifting cycling community. Apply now, start where you are, and we’ll help you get where you want to be!

Membership is Annual: April 1 to March 31! Don't forget to renew each year! All applicants must be over 18!
