Lightning Velo is a recreational and racing cycling club based in Long Beach, California. We currently have over 150 members with diverse interests in every aspect of cycling. But they all have this in common—they love to ride, want to promote cycling and cycling related activities, and enjoy the friendship and the camaraderie that this club has to offer. We like to call ourselves "fast but friendly."
We are very involved in our community. We participate in the Cal-Trans, Adopt-A-Highway program. In fact we are one of the few adopting organizations who actually do their own monthly highway cleanup.
Club social events include a century to San Diego, a summer picnic, a beach barbecue, and an end-of-year holiday party. The club meets once a month to conduct business (and socialize) and it keeps members informed via a periodic newsletter, The Lightning Velogram, and email through our Yahoo! Group.
Yearly membership to the Lightning Velo Cycling Club is $40 for an individual or $50 for a family. Club jerseys are available in addition to the membership fee. Learn more about Lightning Velo membership.
