History: Life University is a health oriented university in Marietta, Georgia, just northwest of Atlanta. The Life University Cycling Club organized at the end of summer quarter, 2006. The current club is designed to be all encompassing, involving members in all kinds of riding.  For many leisure riders, winter is an off season, so we have been  planning for the 2011 season and hope to have a number of club rides  for our members. We do have a few hard-core members who will ride throughout the winter and even race mountain bikes and cyclocross. Look for our changing schedule in the menu at the left.

Goals: Life University Cycling Club offers rides, social events, and other activities for all levels of riders, from the casual rider to the strongly competitive rider who wishes to race for the university in open races and against other colleges. Whether you prefer road or mountain biking, you can do it with friends in the club.
To support our public mission, the club adopts a number of charity rides where Life Cycling can help make a difference. An annual charity ride for the club is the MS 150 ride for Multiple Sclerosis, Atlanta Challenge. This was our first ride in 2006 and has now been completed for 2007, 2008, and 2009 as well. We also ride in events that help raise funds for Cystic Fibrosis, Aplastic Anemia, Cancer Research, Brain Injuries, Project Kid Adventure, and many other charities.
