Cycling Group & Hiking Group

How has this idea enhanced your club's operation, etc.?

The introduction of the Cycling Group has significantly enhanced Cosmos Club's operations by broadening its offerings and providing members with new ways to stay active and engaged. By focusing on safe cycling and adventure, the group attracts members with various levels of experience, ensuring inclusivity and participation. This initiative not only promotes physical wellness but also fosters a sense of community, as seen in the overwhelming attendance and interest from members. These types of outings allow members the opportunity to make connections they might not otherwise foster inside the walls of the clubhouse. The success of the Cycling Group has further expanded the Club’s activities and encourages members to explore more of the city, enriching both their minds and bodies. This approach has helped strengthen the club's ability to offer diverse and engaging experiences that go beyond traditional clubhouse activities.

How was this idea implemented, and what have been the club members' reactions?

As previously mentioned, we have seen an exponential increase in physical activities since the founding of Cosmos Club’s Cycling Group. Club members’ reactions have been extremely positive, with all events being well-attended. Just months into its creation in 2024, there were more than fifty members in the local DMV area that signed up to receive information about the group’s rides. Since it has been so popular with members of the Club, they continue to organize safe rides where they explore a variety of trails. The passion sparked by this group has even motivated members to create a prospective Hiking Group that hopes to gain its group status in 2025.
