Shoals Cycling Club began many
years ago as the Wildwood Rundlers a mountain biking group. To get in
better shape for their mountain bike rides, the group began to ride road bikes.
Later the name was changed to the Northwest Alabama Cycling Club as some
of the riders became interested in racing. In January 2004, the name of the
club was changed to the Shoals Cycling Club to link it in a definite way
to the “regional name” of the area in which the majority of the members live –
“The Shoals.”
In September 2005, the club began
a process of reorganization by writing and ratifying a constitution and by-laws
and is developing ways to fulfill its mission statement – “Promoting Cycling in
Northwest Alabama.”
Across the years, the club has
helped to sponsor and organize various rides - most notably the “W. C. Handy
Music Festival 3 State Century.” In 2005, the Club was co-sponsor of the first
“Muscle Shoals Music Cityfest Ride.”
Shoals Cycling Club is a blend of
cyclists with various interests and skill levels. Members of our club are
involved in riding road bikes, mountain bikes, and riding for the sheer joy of
being on a bicycle. We seek to involve everyone who loves cycling and want to
provide the means by which the members can become better cyclists.
If are looking for a cycling club
that is family friendly and open to anyone, Shoals Cycling Club is that club.
