If you love to ride your bike, you may enjoy working out with your fellow Cougars of the CSUSM Cycling and Triathlon Club.

The club is currently open for members to join that want to work out and have a great time on wheels.

Although the focus is on cycling at this time, due to the lack of members int

erested in triathlons, students are welcome to join to bring focus back to these events. The team has done five to seven cycling races this season. The races take place from January to the summertime, and the team will do more depending on funds. Races are held all over California, with their next one in Santa Barbara. Competitions are held at beginning to expert levels.

Members are not required to race but are welcome to attend events to volunteer or just cheer on their teammates. Students can join to ride for fun, no specific type of bike is needed. The Cycling & Triathlon club enjoys one of the lowest membership fees on campus, which pays for the races that members participate in throughout the year. Interested members can contact club treasurer, Nicole Bryant, at [email protected].

“We are really fun! We want to make the team closer and do things together on outings and practice runs,” Bryant said.
