Please join us on Monday, July 12, 2021 for a truly special presentation from the
St. Augustine University Cycling Team. In April 2020, SAU launched the first HBCU (Historically Black College & University) cycling team through its School of Business, Management & Technology. Since then, the Team has risen to great acclaim in the national media, from
Bicycling Magazine to
CNN and
VeloNews.
SAU Cycling sees their mission as increasing diversity in collegiate cycling (they compete in the same collegiate cycling division as the teams at UNC and NC State), inspire and help other teams get started, and honor the legacy of Major Taylor, America's first global cycling superstar.
Please join us as we hear from SAU Cycling coaches and riders about the team's evolution, its challenges, and its hopes for the future. And more importantly, it is an opportunity to learn how the Triangle cycling community, blessed with vibrant cycling clubs, successful bike shops, and infuential organizations, can become more inclusive in its efforts to promote and grow the sport.
