Our Mission
Hello, we’re the Cycling Club at UTD, a dedicated group of students who are passionate about cycling. We’re here to create a supportive and inclusive community, including cyclists of all levels and to promote a healthy and active lifestyle. Our club provides opportunities for Comets to participate in various cycling activities, including social rides, training rides and competitive races.
Why Your Support Matters
Our upcoming spring race season is crucial to our club’s activities. To ensure our continued success and representation at races and events, we are looking to raise $1,000. These funds will be used to help with team registration fees, travel and lodging expenses, shared equipment and campus event hosting.
How Funds Will Be Used
Race Registration Fees: Costs of attending races and other competitive events.
Travel Expenses: Travel and lodging for races far away from home.
Shared Equipment: Invest in bike trainers and other shared club equipment
Campus Event Hosting: Organize campus events to promote cycling and engage the student body.
Stretch Goals and Additional Support If we exceed our fundraising goal, we will allocate the additional funds towards:
Improving our Equipment: Investing in more trainers as needed to meet practice demand.
Expanding our Membership: Marketing programs to improve our reach to cyclists.
Collaborative Events: Partner with student organizations, other club sports, other cycling groups or other local organizations to promote cycling.
Social Events: Host social events for current and prospective members.
