Shawnee Trail Cycling Club
National Bicycle Club of the Year
as named by the League of American Bicyclists!
Shawnee Trail Cycling Club (STCC) welcomes you to North Texas and we thank you for taking time to visit our site. We are a 501(c)3 non-profit and one of the largest and most active cycling organizations in the State of Texas. We're providing this page to give you some information about cycling in your community and links to resources that otherwise might be difficult to find. Did you know that Frisco is a Bronze Level Bicycle Friendly Community and that The Colony received honorable mention in 2017? Your community is working to make your cycling life better!
Our club has rides (six days a week, year round; twice a day on Sunday, Tuesday and Thursday), cycling educational opportunities and community involvement. If you have children that need community service hours, volunteering with STCC qualifies, so reach out. So much to offer, we'd love to have you be a part -

General Information
If you're here, its likely because you received one of our flyers in your new resident package, delivered by the water department through the STCC. On or off the bike, you're going to love it here. We're so lucky that the weather is such that we can get outside, with the right clothing, and ride the vast majority of the year. Great for cyclists of all mindsets, from you and your family following some of the many multi-use trails available, to the ultra fitness and race addict - and everything in between.
