California Road Club membership provides more than just an excellent way to explore and appreciate the area – it also brings with it many additional advantages such as discounts at Ponte Restaurant and access to the Reserve Room.
Established in 1900, Automobile Club of Southern California was one of the pioneering car clubs in America, established with a mission of improving roadways and driving conditions throughout California.
Social Events
One of the greatest joys of club membership is meeting like-minded golfers. You are sure to find someone suitable regardless of their age or gender! Many clubs provide golf leagues and tournaments suitable for beginners as well as experienced golfers, while others provide social settings with full time activities directors to guide members toward reaching that elusive new level of status. No shortage of upscale golf clubs exist in Sacramento’s greater area; however, we’ve discovered that the best experience can often be had when making an investment in one’s fun. With a price range to fit every budget and an array of courses waiting to be explored this season, a trip to a course should top your bucket list this year.
Cycling Events
No matter your cycling goals – group rides or races – USA Cycling provides many options that will suit them. Many events under its wing have even won national recognition and sanction from this body.
If you’re new to cycling, the USA Cycling Local Associations can be invaluable resources for answering any of your questions and offering local knowledge. Plus they will point you towards clubs offering group rides as well as training assistance!
Are You Looking Into Racing? For those interested in racing, joining a club with USAC racing coaches could help hone your skills while offering training and strategy tailored specifically to each race.
