Benefits
Organized Rides
We will be posting regular organized club rides as the season allows, both for road and mountain biking. We will have various levels and speeds so you can choose one you are comfortable with. We specify "no drop" (all levels welcome) or "training ride" (bring your legs or bring a map).
Community Involvement
The Red Top Cycling Club is dedicated to making our community a better place. We will do this by helping sponsor charity rides and events, outreach programs to teach kids about cycling, and lobbying on a local and regional level for more bike paths/lanes and safer traffic conditions. We want to advertise cycling as a lifestyle, not just a hobby.
Cycle Therapy Discount
Active members will receive a 15% discount on in-stock merchandise, excluding complete bikes and frames. Members will receive a 5% discount on complete bikes and framesets. Must mention you are a member to get discount. Sorry, no discounts on service or repairs.
Team Clothing
Club/Team members will get exclusive access to team clothing at a dramatically reduced price. We order THE BEST club/team clothing of any club in the area, top-of-the-line kits by Louis Garneau. Sure, they are a bit more expensive, but isn't your body worth it?
Clinics
We will be planning members only clinics to cover such topics as: basic roadside (and trailside) repairs, safe group riding, and training/nutrition techniques.
Special Training Tools
For those who want to take it to the next level, we have access to reduced price VO2 Max testing, and plan on incorporating Lactate Threshold testing in the near future. Train like the pros, or just till you pass out. The choice is yours.
Social Events
We plan to have 1-2 social events per year- OK, let's just call them parties. Get a chance to meet your fellow cyclists in a relaxed, fun atmosphere. Finally see what your friends look like when they're not wearing spandex.
Organized Team Racing
Red Top Cycling Club is licensed by USA Cycling and is represented in the local race ciruit by Red Top Cycling/Team Cycle Therapy. Race road, mountain or cyclocross- we have people who do it all. First-time racers or seasoned Masters veterans, all are welcome. The idea is to have fun , since most of us have day jobs anyway. We hope to also bring a competitive event to Cartersville in the near future.
