SLB Cycling Club (SCC) is an employee, employee’s family, and friends cycling club that rides year-round west of Houston. Our members are expected to share a commitment to safe and courteous cycling, fundraising for the Texas MS150, enjoyment of the sport, and volunteering to support the club activities. The club promotes and encourages safe, enjoyable cycling activities by offering rides of varying distances, speeds, and terrain.
The club was founded in 1996 by a group of employees who had a passion for fitness and wanted to hit the Texas back roads on their bikes. The club currently has about 250 active members ranging in age from 10 to 75. Numbers grow dramatically in January yearly to get fit, have fun, and complete the Texas MS150 in April. Not secondarily, we raised money for MS, $155,000 in 2013. In 2014, almost $200,000! We typically organize 14 supported training rides from January to April with less than 100 riders per ride. During the summer and fall, we have regular club rides on Saturday mornings and support at least once per month. From time to time, we plan special rides.
Our supported training rides are progressive and suited for all levels of riders. All the rides are listed on the club calendar. We provide the needed instruction and fitness training for a new rider to successfully complete the Texas MS150. We also offer support in La Grange with a club tent, food, beverages, and breakfast on Sunday morning. Our Texas MS150 activities include a Lake Sommerville Campout to give riders a sneak peek at our second-day lunch stop and a carbo-loading Pasta Dinner with an informative slide show to prepare them for the big ride.
