About Swami’s
Founded in 1989, Swami’s Cycling Club is one of the premier and most recognized clubs in Southern California. We are a performance-oriented club composed of about 300 male and female cyclists in the San Diego region who participate in the entire spectrum of cycling activities including racing, fitness and gravel rides.
Swami’s is committed to developing the sport of cycling and cultivating a positive lifestyle. Each year we organize several cycling events in the community and also support a variety of charities.
Swami’s is a 501(c)3 Charitable Organization and a member of USAC – the governing body for road and track cycling in the United States.
Swami’s member activities encompass the entire range of the sport, with racing, long-distance endurance, and fitness rides appealing to different parts of the club membership.
We are by no means an elitist team. We welcome anyone who loves the sport of cycling. Our goal is to encourage and support all riders who want to participate and develop their skills. Everyone is welcome.
