Santa Cruz County Cycling Club Highlights

Santa Cruz is home to many cyclists, cycling advocates, groups, and clubs. We wanted to give a shoutout to our friends at the Santa Cruz County Cycling Club (SCCCC). MBOSC is excited to partner with SCCCC and share information through our social media platforms. We will share event information, safe riding initiatives, clinics and other information to promote cycling in Santa Cruz County, a mutual goal of each organization. Founded in 1971, SCCCC is a 501c(3) non-profit whose mission is to educate and promote a healthy lifestyle through cycling. You may not know that SCCCC hosts weekly group rides for all levels, and produces the Santa Cruz Mountains Challenge each year. Below is a list of some of the awesome work they are doing:

• Offers organized weekly road rides for all riding levels. Club membership not required. Click here for a calendar of rides.
