Our club was founded in 2014 with the goal of bringing cycling enthusiasts together. We are a non-profit organization dedicated to building a camaraderie around the MTB community. OUR MISSION:
i) To promote the healthy sport of cycling through events such as group rides, training, organised races, workshops, service projects and cause-oriented charitable fundraising and solicitation policies. ii)
To support cycling through three tiers: Road bike riding & racing, Mountain bike riding and racing, and group rides. iii) To inspire a generation of green riders to adopt sustainable mode of transportation. iv) To work towards preservation of our environment and ecosystem, and to create awareness through seminars and bike rides. vi) To take up cycling as an industry and to mainstream this sport at the national and international levels thereby giving an opportunity for the young sports enthusiasts to take up cycling as a profession. vii) To help grow the cycling community in Mokokchung. Currently Mokokchung has less than 5 active riders. Our target is to produce at least 100 active riders by the time India celebrates 75 Years Jubilee in 2022. MEMBERSHIP:
