Johnson says, "The goal is to have at least three separate groups of riders so one can be for people who just want to ride for fun, a middle group that's a little faster and the highest group would be people who actually want to race." The more people who join cycling club the more it will prosper and allow for more opportunities for members in years to come.

Many students are becoming more aware and interested in getting involved in cycling club. Helke says, "I think it is great that students are willing to start a club and contribute to the school by allowing for more ways for people to get involved."

Johnson says, "Fred and I run the club. We have a remind, an Instagram page, we direct everyone and we plan out the rides." Not only do the two boys bike on every ride with anyone who is willing to join them but they also have the responsibility of making sure everything is organized and clear for all the riders.

Sawyer says, "It's been a great way to get to know students outside of the classroom! My favorite part about being the club advisor is meeting new students, and learning more about students who I have in orchestra." Anyone who is even a little bit interested in joining the club, they can rest assure they will be welcomed, both by other members of the club as well as by those who run it.

Money is a variable that will drive many away from the club right away without even looking into joining, Helke says, "I am glad that I don't have to go out and buy a $2,000 road bike in order to be in the club but instead just to be able to enjoy biking."
