Kasarani Youth United Cycling and Triathlon Self Help Club - A Short History
The club was formed in 2001, after most of people around the area were willing to participate in cycling due there were many events of cycling were hold. In regard with this, we got gathered 5 of cycling members and decided to start a self-help club, which was based on cycling. In matter of fact, it was a bit difficult due every member was to depend on himself. During the time the club was growing slower by slower since we have members who are really interested in cycling but have no required kits for the sport.
Then it was registered under the ministry of Sports and Culture in the year 2003. We have increased the number of cyclists, although we have loosed one member due to death. For now we have introduced Triathlon in our team since it’s a new game that has arisen to our country, and that has made us to increase the number of members who are good in Triathlon .Since from then we have been organizing some various local races and also participated in various competition and won some certificates and trophies. Apart from Cycling and Triathlon we hold other various activities which are based community work:
It has been very hard to allocate for sponsors since in Kenya both the two sports (Cycling & Triathlon) is not much recognized, but we have who much are willing in those two sports. We have been doing it because we love it very much.
For now the club is made of 30 cyclists including 15 seniors, 10 Ladies and 5 juniors, every official is a cyclist according to our constitution. We usually meet every Sunday either for training or meeting of which already we have a calendar fixture of various events held annually.
Finally, we are growing stronger and stronger, since we are forwarding to look for sponsors who will raise the morale of the club and enable our vision of establishing the school of sports (Cycling and Triathlon) especially to the needy children to happen, so that we can unlock their talents.
