What is Reno Wheelmen?

Reno Wheelmen is a cycling club based in the Reno–Tahoe area, and its website (renowheelmen.org) works as a local hub for group rides, race results, and event tickets. It is aimed at road, criterium, and cyclocross riders in the region. If you ride in or near Reno–Tahoe and want organized group rides, race information, or a club to join, this is the site to check.

What the site covers

The homepage and navigation point to a few recurring categories of content:

• Group rides — listed rides include the MWF Ride, the Reno Wheelmen Wednesday Group Ride, and the Friday Lunch Ride.
• Race results — the site publishes write-ups of local races, such as the Air Center Crit in the Twilight Series.
• Event tickets — cyclocross race tickets are available through the site.
• Membership — there is a membership page with a "JOIN" link.

Group rides

The ride names on the site suggest a weekly rhythm rather than one-off events:

The site lists these as named rides but the excerpt does not include start times, meeting points, or pace categories, so check the individual ride pages before showing up.

Racing and results

The site documents local criterium racing in detail. A published race note for the Air Center Crit (25 August 2026, the final race of that year's Twilight Series) describes:

• 35 riders from Sacramento, Truckee, Reno, and the Carson Valley
• Separate C, B, and A fields, with the C and B races finishing into a headwind on the final straight
• The C field running a dozen laps at roughly 2:20 per lap
• The A field running 25 laps, with the winning move coming in lap 17
• Lap prime prizes and a "Lantern Rouge" recognition for the rider who finished every Air Center race that season

That level of detail makes the results section useful if you want to follow local competition or gauge the fields you'd be racing against.

Membership and tickets

Two transactional entry points appear on the site:

• Membership — a dedicated page at /plans/reno-wheelmen-memberships/ with a "JOIN" link.
• Cyclocross tickets — the homepage states Cyclocross Race 1 tickets are available there.

The available material does not list membership prices, ticket prices, or payment methods, so confirm current cost and any login requirements on those pages directly.

Who it's for

Reno Wheelmen fits riders who want structured local riding and racing rather than solo routes:

• Road and criterium racers looking for a series and results
• Cyclocross riders wanting event access
• Riders new to the area who want regular group rides to join

If you only need trail conditions or solo route ideas, the site's focus on club rides and race promotion may be narrower than what you're after.
