Meet the Colorado Springs Cycling Club, the longest running cycling club in the Springs. Torie sits down with the club’s board for our first podcast recorded in front of a live audience. Hear about the variety of club rides and offerings, advocacy efforts and events supported and what’s new for 2024, in addition to diving into the 37-year history of the club with some of the club’s past presidents and its most active members. It was a packed house with more than 40 people in attendance. If you’re looking for a great local club to join, listen here to find out more and check out http://bikesprings.org/ for all of the ride schedules, information and to join.
The Colorado Springs Cycling Club is a non-profit community recreational cycling club open to all ages and abilities. It was started in the mid 80s by Bob and Anne Smith following the ending of the Strata Cycling Club. When Torie moved to Colorado Springs 22 years ago, the club became her first family of friends and she fell in love with the Springs riding with them. She’s been on the board for several years now and also helped put on the Club’s Buena Vista Bike Festival for about 4 years in the 2010s. It was truly Torie’s pleasure to be able to host this special live podcast and season kickoff of the Club. There are so many exciting things happening with the club this year. Membership is $21/individual and $28/family for 1 year.
