From Our Bylaws:
"This not-for profit Corporation has been
formed exclusively for the charitable and public purpose of promoting the sport of
bicycle racing; promoting bicycle safety education; and promoting or sponsoring
one or more bicycle racing teams and bicycle racing events."
From A Past President:
I joined the Velo Club as I saw it to be a group of riders who were committed
to understanding the technical aspects of the sport, who trained to achieve
their personal best, periodically measured themselves against other riders
in competition, and desired to fellowship with and encourage each other.
It is these qualities your leadership team wishes to continue to promote.
The OKC Velo Club, Inc. was incorporated in 1983. It is the longest surviving
USAC club in Oklahoma. We are the 197th USAC club formed, and the current
USAC club number issuances are something over 11,500. As of October 2007,
there are only 2035 of these 11,500+ club numbers issued still active.
Further, of the first 197 USAC clubs, only 40 are still operating.
There have been up and down years, but the tradition continues. Just like a
road race, starting is the easy part, not DNF’ing is the tough part of
operating a club.
There are opportunities to excel at any level of USAC cycling. One can ride
or race as part of the Velo Club, or qualify to be invited to race with one
of the Race Teams.
Take advantage of the Club's fellowship, training, and competitive activities
by getting involved. The membership fee is not the issue, giving back to
the sport is.
