Introducing Cyclo-Vet
Sponsor Pages
The club is very fortunate to have great sponsors who make cycling better in San Diego. To help you learn more about our sponsors, we have begun individual sponsor pages. In these pages, you will discover articles on a range of valuable subjects, from illegal turns and cyclists' rights in court to descriptions of great tours (like ATG's 2009 Tour de France trip). Featured in our first pages are Nytro, Richard L. Duquette, and Adventure Travel Group. The individual sponsor pages also may be accessed from the Sponsor Page.

Welcome

For 25 years, the San Diego Cyclo-Vets have encouraged masters bike riding and racing. We invite you to find out more about our club. Better yet, join us for a ride.

The Cyclo-Vets updated website is designed to showcase the best Master's bike racing club in America. The newly re-designed site emphasizes images, information and the club's 25-year history (see History section). We don't want to lose the heritage that has built our club, and one of the features added is a page for member contributions.
