Cycling Club is currently on hold temporarily due to COVID
Cycle Therapy has formed their own Cycling Club; The Cycle Therapy Cycling Club! Going forward we will continue to support and work with Cowichan Valley Cycling. Meanwhile the CTCC will seek to be an inclusive club that encourages group cycling activities; organizes and promotes cycling events; participates in cycling advocacy activities; and in conjunction with the CVC will advocate and fundraise for improved cycling infrastructure in the Cowichan Valley.
