2016 Cycling Club Growth Contest

USACycling_Logo-1From USA Cycling…

If your cycling club is looking to expand its membership, now is a great time to focus on that growth because USA Cycling is launching a 2016 Cycling Club Growth Contest!

Clubs with the most growth in USA Cycling members by April 11, 2016 will receive a prize package which includes free 2017 renewal, free event permit, discounts from DNA Cycling, and a special feature article about your club on USA Cycling’s website!

Want to get a head start on the competition?

Make sure that the existing USA Cycling members in your club have all renewed their USA Cycling memberships for 2016. Then, a great way to start increasing your contest numbers is to encourage club members to become new USA Cycling members, even if they haven’t in the past. We’ll be giving you more resources next week, so make sure you start off strong!

How does the contest work?

Your club will be included in one of three divisions, based on number of members you had at the end of 2015.

Division 1: 76+ USA Cycling members in 2015

Division 2: 30-75 USA Cycling members in 2015

Division 3: 1-29 USA Cycling members in 2015

As the number of USA Cycling members in your club grows beyond what you had in 2015, you’ll be ranked alongside other clubs in your division. The top three clubs in each division will be the ones in the running for prizes.

Each week, we’ll announce the standings along with helpful tips on how to grow your club, and advice from past Club of the Year winners. At the end of the contest the top three clubs in each division, as well as the biggest new club, will receive awards.

What are the prizes?

  • Free Club Renewal in 2016 ($200 value)
  • Free permit (up to $100)
  • 30% off a custom kit order from DNA Cycling

Pablove Cycling Club: Pablove Across America 2016

For the past five years, members of the Semi-Tough Cycling Club have ridden their bikes to “fight kids cancer with love” as part of the annual Pablove Across America ride. Over the years, members of the club have raised well over $100,000 for the Pablove Foundation. It is something that we are all extremely proud of, and I think if you watch the video announcement for the 2016 ride, you’ll know why.
