Schlumberger Cycling Club (SCC) is an employee, employee’s family and friends cycling club that rides year round on the west side of Houston. Our members are expected to share a commitment to safe and courteous cycling, fundraising for the MS150, enjoyment of the sport, and volunteering to support the club activities.
Numbers grow dramatically in January each year with the express purpose of getting fit, having fun and completing the MS150 in April. Not secondarily we raise money for MS, $233,000 in 2009. In 2009, we had 240 riders ride in the MS150. We organize 14 supported training rides from January to April typically with > 100 riders per ride. During the summer and fall we have regular club rides on Saturday mornings and support at least one per month wih a SAG. From time to time we plan special rides.
Our supported training rides are progressive in nature and suited for all levels of riders. All the rides are listed on the club calendar. We provide the needed instruction and fitness training for a new rider to successfully complete the MS150. We also provide support in La Grange. Our MS150 activities also include a Bastrop Camp-out and a Pasta Dinner. I suggest you check out the recent news articles below to get an update on what's going on.
