The cycling program provides opportunities for an athlete to get a work out in a safe environment, to compete in qualifiers and state cycling events...no matter how fast or slow you go. We offer a variety of cycling levels, averaging speeds from 3 mph to 15 mph. The Cycling Club will compete in local and regional qualifiers in Maryland and Delaware, and athletes will have the opportunity to compete in the State Cycling Games on Sept 25. This is a Summer/early Fall program.

We will start the program on July 10^th at Bohrer Park.  We will have an opportunity to check over our bikes and adjust our helmets before we go for a ride.  I’ll bring tools to help tune up bikes where needed, and Dona will be adjusting helmets.

This year we are going to run things a little bit different.  We will have the traditional practice at Bohrer park for  those athletes wishing to get ready for the September Cycling competition.  We will also have a group that will ride for the fun of riding and will rarely ride at Bohrer Park, this group will ride in different location each week.  We will work together to find the locations, I’m open to suggestions.  We can make these rides last a few hours to all day it will be up to the participants.

Both programs will require that you provide your own equipment and a buddy to ride with.
