Sorella Cycling's mission is to foster a supportive and open environment for women of all ages and abilities to ride their bicycles for fitness, recreation and racing. Our founding members are a group of talented women, both on and off our bicycles, who want to support and promote community in a women's cycling club (based in Atlanta, Georgia). Our veteran riders and racers conduct women's cycling clinics including skills, safety, and maintenance and provide mentoring to our members. Members participate in several weekly group rides, frequent road and mountain bike races, and community service events.
