What is Team LIFEcycle (TLc)?
TLc is a multisport athletic team affiliated with LIFEcycle, Inc. TLc is a way to promote healthy, active living and to raise awareness of LIFEcycle and its mission by joining a group of fitness-minded people who will participate in group training sessions and sporting events throughout the year. TLc members will participate in races and charity events for sports such as running, cycling, triathlon, snow sport events and more.
LIFEcycle, and thus TLc, is based on the notion of giving back to the community through athletic-oriented events. We may not be able to donate our money, but we can certainly donate our time and our effort. By proudly displaying your affiliation with TLc, you can raise awareness for the organization and its cause, all while doing something healthy for yourself and the community.
Do I have to be an "athlete" to join TLc?
TLc is for people of all ability levels. If you're a seasoned athlete we would be honored to have you join our team and participate in your event(s) of choice for a good cause. If you're just getting into the athletic scene, we'd love to have you join us and take advantage of the team training atmosphere. Has it been years since you were on a treadmill? Sign on! We would love to be a motivator for all people who are looking to up their activity level.
What does TLc offer me?
TLc has worked hard to come up with ideas that will motivate everybody from lifelong fitness devotees to expert couch potatoes. We've talked to people just like you, who have expressed to us what they would want to see in an athletic team. And this is what we have come up with:
- Monthly boot camps (April - September)
- Specialty Clinics
- Running clinics
- Triathlon clinics
- Cycling clinics (covering both riding and maintenance)
- Other specialty training
- Regular group rides, runs and events
- Custom-designed TLc apparel (suitable for racing, training and lounging)
Furthermore, TLc will be a motivational tool. I know from experience that if someone is waiting for me at the top of Blackstone Boulevard to go for a run, or at the first parking lot at the Bike Path for a ride, I'm a hundred times more likely to show.
What is the cost?
There are two types of membership, Full and Partial.
Both come with your choice of a TLc cycling jersey or running singlet, and the ability to purchase any other TLc-designed athletic apparel, at cost.
Full: $125 - Includes the cost of all TLc specialist clinics and general training sessions. It also includes a $35 registration credit to be used for any sanctioned athletic event. A commitment to participate in a minimum of three events during the season, as a TLc member, is required.
Partial: $60 - Includes the cost of all general training sessions and a $10 registration credit for an event with a minimum of five TLc participants. Specialty clinics can be attended for a fee. A commitment to participate in a minimum of one event during the season, as a TLc member, is required.
As Ride 'Round Rhode is LIFEcycle's signature event, it is expected that all TLc members will participate, either as a volunteer or rider.
How can I join Team LIFEcycle?
