Cornelius Cycling Club
The Cornelius Cycling Club is a voluntary group of non-competitive cyclists who mostly also have a common interest in craft beer.
We hold a weekly group ride on Wednesday nights on the Jetton Peninsula of Lake Norman. It’s a scenic and relatively safe 25-30 mile loop.
We welcome everybody, any time, to join our rides, as long as you’re willing to ride safely in a pace line. Please read more about our ride below, and sign the waiver if it’s your first time.
