This fall, a group of 20 cyclists met and formed the Thiel College Cycling Club. So far, they’ve scheduled a ride on the woodland trails of Lake Wilhelm, just 12 miles east of campus, and two more rides across the farm country of Mercer County. Since its first meeting, the group has grown to more than 30 members. 

This winter meetings might include time on the spinning bikes, and in the spring, there are plans for club fundraisers, a century ride and some multiday trips.
