About the club
Cornell Cycling Club is, first and foremost, a club. We’re just looking to have a great time on our bikes and to grow the sport of cycling among young riders. To maintain this goal, every Friday (weather-permitting, of course — this is Ithaca) we post a “fun ride” where the terrain is mostly flat and the pace is set by the least experienced rider. It’s a social recovery ride and a great time to meet other club members. During the remainder of the week, members continue to ride socially or lay down the hammer to train for races. The club is part of the Eastern Collegiate Cycling Conference (ECCC) and supports racers for the road racing season.

FAQs for new members
How do I join?
First, contact our officers to join the GroupMe for messages on rides and other club news. Then, to become an official member, join us on CampusGroups. This puts you on our mailing list and gives you access to the club’s sponsorship discounts on great bike gear, our cycling kit, and allows you to race for the club (and to get reimbursed for expenses!). Finally, join us for a Friday Fun Ride or other event and say hello!
Do I have to be fast?
No way! You just need to be interested in riding your bike. The club’s membership covers a wide range of skill levels, and even the fastest riders don’t ride fast all the time. There are many more slow riders than fast ones, so don’t be shy about posting a ride in the GroupMe and advertising whatever pace you’re comfortable with.
I like to ride and am interested in seeing what racing is all about.
Collegiate racing is a great way to start with categories to match any level of experience. For some less formal races: members of the Finger Lakes Cycling Club hold their Tuesday Night Race (“TNR”) during the warmer months. Check out our racing and rides pages for more info.
Where can I find the club jersey and bib shorts?
The 2025-26 team store has already closed, so the next opportunity to order kit will be in Fall 2026. The club also may have some inventory on hand; contact a club officer for more info.
What does the club do during the winter?
Some riders will continue to bundle up and ride late into the fall and early in the spring. Many club members also ride inside on indoor trainers (either in their dorm room or a bike room) or use the stationary bikes at the fitness centers. The club has a few trainers that members can borrow.
