Calvary Cycling Association
Mission statement
With this ministry our goal and objective remains the same as it was in the beginning “fun, fellowship, fitness and most of all, learning more about our LORD and savior JESUS CHRIST. Each season beginning in March for the last twenty five years our goal is doing our best to have a “no drop bike club” (stipulation- being consistent in your training). We strive to keep our groups together. Always starting out in prayer, and middle of the ride devotionals, to teach us, and to learn more about JESUS as our LORD and personal savior. As 1 cor. 9:24 states: do you not know that those that run in a race all run, but one receives the prize? Run in such a way that you may obtain it. We always place JESUS in the front of the pack, learning that the spiritual aspects of this ministry are first, having the physical be a second objective. We encourage everyone to be a part of this wonderful sport of cycling, inviting all believer and non believers, being grateful that he, JESUS, remains at the “front of the pack”.
History
Calvary Cycling Association (CCA) was founded in the mid 80′s by two pastors who wanted to blend fellowship and exercise through bicycling, both recreational and sport.
While CCA is not a bicycle-racing club, many club members have participated in local racing events, including mountain bike races, time trials, and crits. As a club, CCA provides rides that span a spectrum of cycling interests, including road endurance rides, fast hammer rides, mountain bike rides, and weekend trips. Rides vary in length and difficulty, but there is something for every type of rider. We always stop and regroup, so no one ever gets dropped!
Club members are a mélange of individuals who range in age from teenagers to … well, if they won’t tell, neither will we!
Prospective members and guests are welcome on all club rides; the only requirement to join a CCA ride it that participants wear an ANSI approved helmet. CCA would like to invite you to come and join the fun!

Our Vision
With humble beginnings of the bicycle dated to the mid-1500 century, today
it’s become an international sport drawing widespread interest. Our group
began riding and racing bikes in the mid 80′s only within the Los Angeles region.
2010 marks a new era as we aim for a third consecutive year to participate
in races in Colombia, South America and an inaugural race in the Pacific Rim
within Vietnam.
Our races in Colombia have drawn regional attention and continue to grow
every year. Our first race in January 2008, we began with 35 cyclists
growing to 100 cyclists later in November 2008. Last year in 2009, we had
almost 150 cyclists participating within 5 categories.
Amongst the Colombian riders, it’s the event to attend and not to be missed.
It’s known for its organization of the event providing licensed judges,
police escort on the roads and on-site medical support for any possible
injuries. The participants mostly enjoy the quality of prizes for the
winners. Prizes range from complete, full carbon bicycles, as well as frame
sets, wheel sets, helmets, jerseys and commemorative event t-shirts.
For 2010, we’re thrilled to offer two events on the calendar. The first is
October 30 and 31 with the second on November 6 and 7, which we anticipate
over 200 cyclists within 7 categories. We have new sponsorships forming,
too. We’re currently in dialog with a large Colombian petroleum company to
contribute as a sponsor to allow the event to be locally televised.
We approach you with the invitation to participate as a sponsor. We know
you’re as passionate about sports as we are, especially cycling. We’re
excited to see our little event grow and hope you can be a part of it. We
encourage you to visit our web site, www.calvarycycling.com, and review our
history.
We’re excited about what 2010 has to offer and look forward to you joining
us in these spectacular events!
Target: to receive sponsorship of products, goods and financial contribution
to announce, organize and produce two cycling events in Colombia in 2010
with hopes of maintaining long-term relationships with sponsors for future
planned events
Abilities: display logos, company names and other announcement mediums of
event advertisement prior to event and during event with banners, small item
giveaways and sponsor name while promoting sponsor’s products, goods and or
services. Procure and produce commemorative event jerseys with sponsor
logos.
Achievements: advertised, promoted and produced three prior events in
January 2008, November 2008 and November 2009 with consistent increase in
participants and sponsors. Received support of local municipalities to
provide housing, meals, medical support, police escort and security for
entire event.
Goals for 2010: increase media coverage of advertisement of event, live
broadcast via television and achieve 200 participants for event.
