Corpus Christi Cycle Club
Through this website, you can find rides and cycling groups specifically geared to cycling in the Corpus Christi area. If your a new rider or experienced cyclist, this site will help you find the best ride for you.
Corpus Christi Cycle Club is a non-profit organization dedicated to cycling and cycling-related activities for road riders (Roadies), recreational cyclists, mountain bike enthusiasts and BMX’ers. Our members have varied interests and abilities, ranging from simple bike rides and cruises to road racing and distance events to off road trail rides, mountain biking, and racing.
One of our main goals in the formation of this club is to allow cyclists and other cycling groups and organizations to stay in contact with one another to promote cycling in the greater Corpus Christi region.
Corpus Christi Cycle Club offers scheduled rides nearly every day of the week, and non-members are welcome on any ride. Most of our road rides are focused to the Corpus Christi and surrounding areas of South Texas. Distances can range from 25 miles to 100 miles.
We are always looking for new routes and new people to meet! Our club offers a great venue to participate in various rides at every level of interest. If you are new to the area and want to participate in local group rides, non-members and guests are welcome. Helmets are required on all rides. If you would like to be added to our mailing list, just leave us your name and email.

By joining our organization, members will have the opportunity to get local shop discounts, participate in local club events , club tours and much more. We also are insured for all of our events. We have scheduled meetings once monthly, so if you want to participate in our organization, please come to our meetings and bring a friend! Most of our meetings are social in nature.

If you are a new rider or cycle enthusiast to the Corpus Christi area, you will want to visit the IQUACK Southside Cycling community to get your first taste of group rides. This group will introduce you to the etiquette and experience of group riding for first time riders. You can also go to the Calendar page of our site to see their riding scheduling. Most of our group rides are scheduled and all riders are welcome. A ride leader is usually available to get you familiar with the course and ride varieties. Most of our rides cover flat terrain, but some courses have small hills in the mix. Most all of our rides are “no drop” rides and “no one left behind”. One of our group leaders will direct you to the proper ride based on your abilities.
