CLUB (verb): to gather or form a club; to combine for the promotion of some common purpose; to unite.

Club (noun): an association of people involved in the same activity or interests.

Since the establishment of Velo-One Cycling in 2007 the club has surpassed all of my expectations and initial visions. The simple concept of creating a community that revitalizes the core essence of what a club should feel like has been the focus. The word "club" means different things to different people, and unfortunately has lost much of its value from some of its historical meanings. Seeing this trend while having such a passion for cycling,, I started Velo-One Cycling in 2007.

The roots of Velo-One run and well beyond cycling. The club has brought together people from many walks of life, formed lifelong friendships and even marriages along the way.  I secretly feel a scenes of pride, knowing that 2011 gave us our first "V1" baby.       For me and my family, Velo-One is part of our family. It has brought us much joy seeing people develope and grow into great cyclists and advocates for "club" cycling. Fort Collins Colorado has seen a fantastic growth in its cycling culture, which shows no signs of fading. Velo-One Cycling is here to stay, and will play an important roll within the community for years to come. Ensuring continued growth of cycling as a sport, lifestyle and economic player in Fort Collins.

I believe that a club should not be measured by size, but by its offerings and impact it and it's members have in the community. . This value will ensure longevity of cycling and V1.

The future Velo-One will see the formation and revitalization of a grassroots racing program for both men and women as well as a race and riding mentoring program to ensure that new riders are given the tools and knowledge to be safe and happy on the roads of Colorado.

Recreational cyclist of all levels will be provided the information and assistance to be safe, active and well informed riders. Through clinics, mentoring and club support, V1 riders will continue to be role models in the community.

Velo-One will renew its USAC and Colorado ACA team license this summer on time for Cyclocross. Our goal is aimed towards a fall launch of a New V1 CX team and a club launch in 2013.

Please contact me personally with any and all questions. For those interested in contributing in the future foundation of Velo-One, I will discuss incentives and needs on an individual basis. 

The future V1 will be focused around quality not quantity at many levels. V1 will be a club that will focus on member participation. Running a club is tough work. As a member, you will be expected to chip it.
