Faq
Can Anyone Attend?
YES! All are welcome. In fact, we encourage prospective new members to attend. If you are someone who has thought about joining a cycling club but never did because you weren’t sure what they were all about, this club meeting is the perfect opportunity for you to get all your questions answered. Or maybe you’re tired of your current club and want something new. Perfect! And current club members can meet up with other members as well as find out what’s in store for 2018.
Do I Really Need to RSVP?
The only reason we are asking that everyone who plans on attending to please RSVP is so that we can get an accurate head count, which is extremely important. We want to ensure we have enough seating, parking availability, and most importantly, food and drink! So we ask that you take a moment and complete our online RSVP form. It’s really quite painless and will really help us out.
Where is Cycles Veloce Located?
Cycles Veloce is an Orange County based club. However, we have members scattered all over Southern California as well as several other states. You can also find us registered on the USA Cycling website.
How Long is the Event?
The annual team meeting will begin at 5:00 pm and typically runs until about 9:00 pm. You’ll have time to meet other club members, speak with various sponsors, and eat and drink. The official presentation portion will be relatively early. After that, it’s pretty free to socialize, speak with sponsors on various club deals, and fill up on food and drink.
