A Message From Our Founder & President
Welcome to the Cleveland Cycling Academy Website!
I was born in Cleveland and grew up in the city. As a competitive cyclist for many decades, creating this program has been a long-time dream of mine.
Together, we can create a gateway into the sport and give aspiring, competitive youth cyclists a start, opportunities and the resources they need to become professional athletes.
We are beyond excited and grateful to have an extremely talented and brilliant Board of Directors, Masters Team, generous sponsors, donors and volunteers who are helping navigate this program to its highest potential. I could not do this without the support and collaboration of these stellar individuals as well as my family and friends.
Sincerely,
Robert Fernandez
Founder & President
