Benefits to Members
Shop Support: We support the businesses that support QCW Cycling. Team members receive a discount on merchandise and bicycles at our sponsor shop, Breakaway Bikes and get first crack at special pro deals from supporting suppliers.
Training: Rides vary dramatically in intensity and duration depending on the season and place emphasis on education and fitness. We host weekly base training rides through the winter, skill clinics to get new racers up to speed in early spring, and competitive training rides throughout the summer. Whoever you are and whatever your skill level, QCW Cycling members will be there with you.
Learn more about training opportunities on the Area Rides page. Come out and meet members before you decide to join the team. You’ll recognize us by the distinctive blue and black kits.
Racing: Our team finished first this year in the Pennsylvania Best All-around Team competition by a commanding margin, and we plan to be at the top again in 2011. Our club hosts two to three sanctioned races each year and club members are active in the Pennsylvania Cycling Association as well as regional racing scenes. We ride together and race together. Car pools and team strategy are what we’re here for.
This past year QCW Cycling hosted three sanctioned races, the Pennsylvania Master’s Time Trial Championships in Bucks County, PA; State Road Race in Berks County, PA in early September; and the Hillbilly Hustle cyclocross race in early October. Through these three races we provided high quality events for over 500 area racers and raised over $3000 for our team initiatives.
Giving Back: QCW Cycling partners with various local charities including the Cadence Cycling Foundation, and has embarked on our Junior Mentoring Initiative in which inner city youth interested in cycling are partnered with mentors from the club. Find out more by joining the team!
