Recreational Riding
Thanks to its Long Beach-base, the club attracts many beginning and recreational cyclists that are looking for cool, scenic rides that only Southern California can provide. Velo Allegro is a great Club for newcomers to the sport or for those that are looking to keep fit and have fun with a great group of people that share a common interest.
Friends, Food, and Fun
Velo Allegro is a Club that races seriously but also knows how to have fun. After-ride coffee and snacks from local sponsor hangouts give members a chance to relax and get to know eachotheror at the very least to talk about the day's ride. The Club also hosts social events during the year.
