about us
We’ve come a long way.
Our Story
The Ann Arbor Velo Club (AAVC) started in the mid-70’s with about 30 road riders and grew to become one of the largest cycling clubs in Michigan by the early 90's. Today, AAVC is a multi-discipline club with riders from all walks of life. Our membership is as diverse as Ann Arbor itself, including many University of Michigan riders, recreational riders, and youth. We truly span the spectrum from families and Ann Arbor area residents just looking to stay fit, all the way up to elite athletes racing at Cat 1 and 2 levels. We have an organized coaching staff to develop the Junior’s (under-19) program, the Women’s team, and the Men’s team. The Club's support of cycling in Southeast Michigan includes the organization of weekly rides, practices, and race events.
