Our Team |
The Central Iowa Cycling Club (CICC) has grown into a new brand named “Ames Velo”. We have a long and stable history that seeks to re-make itself as a club whose values are newly rededicated to cycling as community, cycling as health/fitness and to competitive cycling. We obviously have strong beliefs in health and fitness, but also seek to expand our positive reputation, visibility and activities by connecting to and representing our community through cycling advocacy, cycling safety, and rider development and mentor-ship.
Based in Ames, most of us live and work in central Iowa, we participate in cycling events and races throughout the Midwest. Our team consists of a large, diverse group of men and women with a wide variety of backgrounds, ages, cycling interests and experiences. We are road cyclists, mountain bikers, cyclocross racers, gravel racers, time-trialers, and triathletes; we are racers and non-racers. We participate in local and regional charity rides; and we train weekly on local roads, highways and trails. We are a highly energized and motivated group, both on our bicycles and in our community. We are united by our passion for the sport of cycling and our drive to become better athletes, as well as a stronger resource and positive symbol in our community. |
