The Rock Hill City Council has postponed meeting about the Velodrome!
The Rock Hill City Council will reschedule their hearing and discussion of an MOU (Memorandum of Understanding) and we will be sure to get details out to the club asap. The MOU is in reference to the information below:
The Cycling and Outdoor Center of the Carolinas agenda has some momentum here and could use a boost with the presence & support of the cycling community. Check out the rendering of the complex. It is expected to be more or less centered in the old Celanese property along Cherry Road, just across the Hwy. 21 bridge from Fort Mill. It will also be tied into an extensive trail system including the Carolina Thread Trail. Cyclists of all kinds will benefit from this facility. USA Cycling is on board to host a national event within only two-three years of the opening. BMX, mtb, closed road course, track cycling and casual riders will have access to the park w/ bike lanes leading to and from the velodrome and a proposed YMCA. Come out and show your support!
Check out the monthly calendar for details as well as other club rides open to cyclists of all levels and abilities...
Located in the Old English Section of South Carolina, the Rock Hill Bicycle Club (RHBC) represents a collection of recreational riders, racers and mountain bikers. As of 2005, the club has been in existence for over 25 years, with a membership of more than 100 riders.
Known for its growing sports market, York County is one of the fastest growing regions in the United States, just minutes south of Charlotte, NC. While many RHBC members reside in York County many others hail from neighboring Lancaster and Chester Counties as well as North Carolina cyclists from Mecklenburg, Gaston and Union Counties.
The RHBC is a not for profit organization whose purpose is to promote the personal enjoyment of bicycling by its members and the cycling public. One of the oldest bike clubs in the Carolinas, the organization promotes fitness, friendship, safety, maintenance and competency in cycling. The club is actively involved in arranging bike tours, scheduling rides and races, encouraging bicycle commuting and sponsoring bicycle events. The RHBC serves as a voice for the community by promoting cycling education to the general public.
The RHBC boasts the oldest continuously held bicycle race in South Carolina, the RHBC Spring Race, and supports area cycling by sponsoring a monthly ride calendar with levels ranging from beginner to expert. We also host a variety of races throughout the year such as sprints, criteriums, road races and time trials. We encourage you to take a look around our site! Please let us know if you have any questions or suggestions regarding our clubs efforts!
