Organizing club rides can be a formidable task – one that Maynooth Cycling Club, founded in 2015, knows all too well. With 90 members and counting, the club faced the challenging ordeal of managing club spins amidst a deluge of WhatsApp messages and admin hours. The quest for a seamless solution led them to Cyql, and they’ve never looked back!
Fred Quinn, a passionate cyclist from Maynooth Cycling Club, enthusiastically shared, “After four months with Cyql, it’s transformed our club! Our members are more engaged, club spins are simpler to organize, and the administrative overhead? Drastically reduced!”
Cyql’s appeal isn’t limited to just reducing administrative tasks. Fred lauds the platform’s versatility: “The fact that you can create repetitive spins for the year ahead and add a route later to the individual spin has kind of automated the process. The app has many useful features, like a calendar for other club events and access to emergency contact details for all riders on a particular spin.”
Such tools make a real difference. Beyond aiding administrators in managing club activities, Cyql also fosters a sense of community. Fred mentions, “All our club members find it an incredibly useful way to stay connected to the club. It has motivated many more to participate in club spins.”
For those on the fence about Cyql, Fred has some advice: “I’d highly recommend other clubs to try it out. It’ll definitely cut down on your time if you’re organizing club spins, making them more transparent to members and encouraging them to get out on the bike. You have to invest some time at the start in setting it up, but once you’re there, it’s fantastic.”
In today’s fast-paced digital age, keeping members engaged and rides organized is paramount. As Fred’s experience with Maynooth Cycling Club demonstrates, Cyql could be the game-changer your cycling club needs.
